The problems concerning microbial resistance to the available antibiotics especially in the hospitals are fast growing. One of such problem is the emergence of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) which has become a global threat to antimicrobial chemotherapy. The MRSA bacteria belong to the Staphylococcus aureus bacteria family. Staphylococcus aureus is common bacterium which lives harmlessly on the skin and in the nose of around a third of healthy people. When it does cause infection „ordinary‟ Staphylococcus aureus is sensitive to most commonly used antibiotics. MRSA is a particular type of Staphylococcus aureus that has developed resistance to several antibiotics. Only a few antibiotics will act against MRSA (Karthy et al., 2009). The wide spread use of antibiotic resulted in the development of resistance to antibiotics through acquisition of the mobile cassette chromosome carrying the Methicillin-resistant gene mecA (Wielders et al., 2002) and mecC (Porrero et al., 2014). Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Methicillin-Resistant Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci (MR-CoNS) has been identified as multidrug-resistant zoonotic pathogens in humans and many animal species (Morgan, 2008; Barbier et al., 2010). Even through, coagulase negative Staphylococci may also be a normal flora for skin and mucous membranes of human and animal species (Aklilu et al., 2010).
