Discussion
S. aureus is well known causing agents of skin and soft tissue
infections as well as food poisoning. Methicillin resistant S.
aureus (MRSA) has emerged worldwide as a significant public health
problem both in human and animals and got zoonotic importance when
scientists suggested the possibility of animals serving as reservoirs
for human MRSA infection.
In our study we report MRSA was detected from the outer part of the
wound but not from inner part, this might be because of the unhygienic
environmental conditions and untreated condition of myiasis wound. This
result is also supported by Islam et al. [7] The reason for no
detection of bacteria from inner part is maggot itself, because maggot
not allow to grow any bacteria and eat dead tissues. [12]
In conclusion, maggot inhibit the presence of MRSA. So, maggot can be
used as medical therapy to make the wound clean. As MRSA is a global
concern, veterinary practitioner should be careful during antibiotic
treatment.
