Catalogued from PDF version of thesis. Includes bibliographical references (pages 48-53). The potential function of polluted ambient surfaces as a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) reservoir in medical facilities is the topic of discussion in this paper review. The Staphylococcus aureus bacteria is known as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Multiple-resistant S. aureus is distinguished by its resistance to the antibiotic methicillin and to related semi-synthetic penicillin. Over the years, especially in the past decade, the infection rate of MRSA has become prevalent. In this review, the main focus was on the colonization of MRSA on clinical and nosocomial surfaces. Maximum MRSA colonization occurred on the equipment doctors and health care personnel used. Like scissors, syringes, injections, etc. On the other hand, patients with different diseases and different injury cases are infected by MRSA. So, in health care units (ICUs), there are bed rails, bedside tables, door knobs, handle locks, and many other different materials that have been colonized with MRSA. MRSA infection affected patients’ lungs, urethra, wounds, genitals, urine, blood, body fluids, eye sights etc. Then, country-based infection was most prevalent in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Germany, India, Brazil, Ukraine, Japan, the UK, and the USA, and the prevalence rate was increasing in these countries. Different samples from patients were also collected for MRSA screening, like blood, sputum, and a nasal swab. Then a compare-and-contrast study has been documented to determine if only methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is responsible for the infection or if any other antibiotics like rifampicin, vancomycin, oxacillin, or erythromycin can also become resistant to S. aureus. The prevalence rate was then demonstrated among those countries and samples. A few risk factors are discussed as MRSA is globally affecting hospital environments, which is harmful for the patients along with the doctors, nurses, and other staff. Prevention can be done properly by maintaining cleanliness, sterilizing, and washing equipment. Mostly, MRSA causes infection. As MRSA becomes a great threat to us, we should be more careful and concerned about it. Sadia Tamanna Anisa Zareen Khondoker Rayhanul Islam B.
