Abstract:
In the present study, a total of 95 skin samples were collected from various districts of Rajasthan. Out of 95 skin samples, 67 samples were positive for dermatitis and 49 samples showed presence of different Gram’s positive bacteria after growth on Mannitol salt agar medium. Out of 49 Gram’s positive bacteria, only 30 (61.22 per cent) isolates could be confirmed as S. aureus through 23rRNA based ribotyping with an amplicon of 1250 bp.
