ABSTRACT

A total of 170 strains from cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy were examined. Coagulase producing S. aureus were further studied by using phenotypic method (slide coagulase), which revealed 141 strains as coagulase positive, while 29 remained negative. From overall of 170 samples 50% MRSA were resistant to ciprofloxacin and 59.5% were to levofloxacin, ceftriaxone showed 52% and resistant to meropenam and imipenam were 26% and 14% respectively, although all strains were sensitive to vancomycin.
