The study group consisted of 150 patients both male and female between 1 – 80 years, with primary and secondary skin infections who attended the out- patient department of Dermatology and surgery at Sree Balaji medical college and hospital a tertiary care hospital in Chennai, Tamilnadu, South India. Patients admitted as in patients in the above two department were also taken for this study. 28 out of 150 cases had primary bacterial and 122 had secondary bacterial skin infections. In this study the prevalence of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (40.8%) and Extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) (40.5%) producers among Enterobacteriaceae was higher. Estimation of MRSA and ESBL has to be done in tertiary care hospital to prevent and curtail further spread of these strains in hospital acquired infections. These isolates pose a serious threat for use of routine groups of antimicrobials.
