Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of resistance to macrolide, lincosamide, streptogramin and ketolide antibiotics in Korea. The antibiotic susceptibility test was performed to the macrolide erythromycin, clarithromycin, azithromycin, josamycin, the lincosamide clindamycin, the streptogramin synercid and the ketolide ABT -773 against 337 clinical Staphylococcus aureus(SAU). Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CNS) and Enterococci isolates exhibited an average percentage of 64％, 56％, and 81 ％ of resistance to erythromycin, respectively.
