Abstract excerpt
This study was conducted to investigate the presence of methicillin and aminoglycoside resistance encoding genes by multiplex-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and by phenotypic methods in staphylococci isolated from inpatients' clinical specimens. The presence of aac(6')1aph(2"), aph(3')-IIIa and ant(4)-Ia genes encoding aminoglycoside modifying enzymes (AME) and mecA gene encoding methicillin resistance were...
