Abstract
Antibiotic resistance patterns of 21 antibiotics were studied for 50 strains of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from a hospital in Busan from July 2005 to December 2006. All strains showed antibiotic resistance to more than one antibiotic and 3 strains showed resistance to 17 different antibiotics. The strains isolated between 2005 and 2006 had lower resistance rate to 12 antibiotics (other than vancomycin and ampicilin) than the strains isolated between 1989 and 1990. In particular, no chlorarmphenicol resistant strain was found in this study which is contrasted with 34.8% resistant rate obtained in the study conducted between 1989 and 1990. In respect of vancomycin, no resistant strain was found in this study which is the same result obtained in the 1989 to 1990 study; All strains investigated in this study showed 100% resistance rate to ampicillin compared to 69.6% in the previous study.
