Materials and Methods: 100 isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus saprophyticus were isolated from 466 different clinical specimens using biochemical tests. Using the disc diffusion method, Antibiogram susceptibility test was conducted to determinate lincosamides and tetracycline resistance pattern. Then ermA, ermB, ermC and msrA genes were identified and investigated by PCR method.
