Abstract

We investigated the spread of methicillin-resistant staphylococci (MRS) in Osaka Dental University Hospital by examining the nasal carriages of the medical staff and patients, and testing the antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates. MRS were isolated from three inpatients and a location in a hospital room, but not from any of the medical staff or outpatients.
MRS were classified into 9 types according to antibiotic sensitivity. All strains were susceptible to chloramphenicol and vancomycin. The sensitivity pattern of the isolates to antibiotics suggested that cross infection was occurring in the hospital.
