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.
