Abstract
Population analysis of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and determination of their sensitivity to antimicrobial agents were perfo rmed. It was found, that the methicillin-resistant strains belonged to resistance classes II and III. All methicillin-resistant S. aureus we re susceptible to ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, vancomycin and teicoplanin . Differences between classes were observed in susceptibility to eryth romycin and gentamcin.
