Results: In total, 14 different patterns of spa genes were obtained from MRSA isolates in this study, which included t790 (23. 07%), t2962 (15. 38%), t267 (15. 38%), t159 (7. 69%) and t701, t094, t1816, t11332, t937, t2135, t180, t160 [1 (3. 84%) isolate per each type]. The rate of resistant isolates to cefoxitin, , cefalotin, clindamycin, cefazolin, co-amoxiclav, co-trimoxazole, and cephalexin antibiotics were 69. 23%, 100%, 46. 15%, 96. 15%, 100%, 3. 48%, and 100%, respectively. In total, six (23. 07%) revealed vancomycin-intermediate resistant phenotype and five (19. 23%) isolates revealed vancomycin-resistant S. aureus phenotype.
