AFumigation of ward frequently
BWashing hand before and after attending patients
CWearing masks during invasive procedures in ICU
DVancomycin given empirically to all the patients
Antibiotic sensitivity and resistance of microorganisms are determined by
ADNA probe
BDirect microscopy
CELISA
DCulture
All of the following are true about methicillin resistance in MRSA, except:
AResistance is produced as a result of altered PBPs
BResistance may be missed at incubation temperature of 37°C during susceptibility testing
CResistance is primarily mediated/transmitted by plasmids
