Özet

In this study, the antibiotic susceptibilities and whole cell protein patterns of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains which were isolated from nasal swabs of outpatients and healthy hospital staff, have been determined by disk diffusion test and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis method, respectively. A total of 43 MRSA isolates of which 13 out of 500 outpatients and 30 out of 500 hospital personnel, showed the same protein profiles, and the antibiotic susceptibility patterns were found similar. These findings suggested that the strains isolated from the outpatients were originated from hospital environment.
