Abstract

Changes in antibiotics susceptibilities were evaluated among 374 nosocomial clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus collected from 1986 to 1994 in a tertiary-care University hospital where methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is an increasing cause of infection. Significant increases in resistance to ciprofloxacin, clindamycin and rifampicin were observed among MRSA isolates in recent years. No resistance to glycopeptides was observed. However, during the last 2 years a significant trend towards a decreasing susceptibility to teicoplanin was observed among MRSA isolates.
