عزل بكتريا Staphylococcus aureus المقاومة للفانكومايسين بمستوى عالي(HLR-VRSA) في بغداد

Abstract

In the present study, 105 isolates of Staphylococcus were collected from different clinical samples in Baghdad during the period 1/9/2011 to 1/1/2012 . All isolates had been identified by morphological ,cultural and Biochemical tests .The Vancomycin susceptibility test for all isolates was done & results showed that 16 (15.23)% of S. aureus isolates & 6 (5.71)% of co -agulase –ve isolates were resistant to this antibiotic. Minimum Inhibitory concentrations for vancomycin were determined, S.aureus isolates had MICs between (16 - 512) μg/ml, and two isolates had MICs 512 μg/ml.
