| All MRSA isolates had identical susceptibility patterns; they were resistant to oxacillin (and thus to all [beta]-lactam antimicrobial drugs), tetracycline, and fusidic acid. An antibiogram was performed on Mueller-Hinton agar by the disk diffusion method according to CLSI recommendations, against a panel of 8 antimicrobial drugs (14): erythromycin (15 [micro]g), tetracycline (30 [micro]g), trimethoprim (5 [micro]g), ciprofloxacin (5 [micro]g), gentamicin (10 [micro]g), rifampin (5 [micro]g), fusidic acid (10 [micro]g), and mupirocin (5 [micro]g). The strain was sensitive to penicillin, ampicillin, gentamicin, rifampin, vancomycin, teicoplanin, tetracycline, sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim, fusidic acid, ciprofloxacin, and norfloxacin and resistant to erythromycin, lincomycin, and nitrofurantoin. |
