Staphylococcus aureus is one of the leading causes of nosocomial infections and is known for its ability to develop resistance to antibiotics. The drug susceptibility pattern of Methicillin Sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) and Methicillin Resistant S. aureus (MRSA) may vary. AIMs and Objectives: This study was carried out to determine and compare the drug susceptibility patterns in nosocomial MSSA and MRSA.
