Abstract

From April 1989 to April 1990 we examined 107 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus from skin and skin structure infections for susceptibility to various antimicrobial agents, coagulase-types and β-lactamases by the nitrocefin broth method. Multi resistant isolates of S. aureus during the period from April 1989 to April 1990 decreased compared with the period from April 1988 to March 1989. The incidence of methicillin resistant S. aureus(MRSA) was 39.3% detected by oxacillin, 36% being isolated from outpatient and 48% from inpatient specimens. The incidence of ofloxacinresistant S. aureus strains was only 4.7%, most of which were isolated from inpatient specimens. As to coagulases, type VII was most frequently isolated. In MRSA, and also in deep seated pyoderma, such as furuncle and furunculosis, type IV was most frequently isolated. Superficial pyoderma, such as impetigo and eczema, was not related to particular coagulases. As to β-lactamase production of S. aureus isolates, 29.9% were positive after a 30-min reaction and 17.8% negative.
