Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus Isolates in Staphylococcus auricularis and Staphylococcus hominis and Their Drug Resistance / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus (MRS) isolates in Staphylococcus auricularis and S. hominis and detect their drug resistance. METHODS MRS isolates were detected by cefoxitin disc test and susceptibilities were tested by agar dilution method. RESULTS 94.7% and 91.7% MRS isolates were in S. auricularis and S. hominis. MRS strains were resistant to most of antimicrobial agents. There were no isolates resistant to vancomycin and teicoplanin. CONCLUSIONS MRS isolates are highly prevalent in S. auricularis and S. hominis with resistance to most of antimicrobial agents.
