| Popis: | A total of 814 strains ofStaphylococcus aureus isolated from clinical specimens in Jakarta from 1986 through 1993 were examined for their susceptibility to 18 antimicrobial agents. Strains with multiple resistance against sulfanilamide, penicillin, tetracycline, and chloramphenicol predominated. Strains resistant against new broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents, such as β-lactams, macrolides, aminoglycosides, and quinolones, increased rapidly after 1990. The incidence of methicillin-resistantS. aureus (MRSA), which increased from 2.5% in 1986 to 9.6% in 1990, partly accounted for the increased frequency of strains inS. aureus resistant to multiple drugs. All MRSA strains were coagulase type IV. On phage typing, 58.6% of methicillin-susceptible strains (MSSA) and 66.7% of MRSA strains were nontypable by routine test dilution (RTD). The predominant phage groups in MSSA and MRSA were group II (21.5%) and group III (19.0%), respectively. |
