Objective - The resistance patterns to 11 antibiotics of 156 community acquired and 189 nosocomial Staphylococcus aureus isolated during two periods at the IbnRochd University Hospital of Casablanca were determined.Material and methods - Defection of methicillin resistance was performed using the agar screen technique with 6 mg/L of oxacillin and resistance to other antibiotics was studied using the NCCLS disk diffusion method.Results - Methicillin resistance levels were 1.9% and 45% for community and nosocomial isolates respectively. MRSA isolates were multiresistant (gentamicin 84.7%, cotrimoxazole 51.2%, erythromycin 44.7%, fusidic acid 45.9%, ciprofloxacin 83.5%). MRSA isolates were mostly isolated from the surgery department (46.2%) during the first period and from the ICU (61%) during the second period. MRSA were isolated mainly from blood (34.1%), pus (34.6%), and respiratory tract (27.1%). (C) 2001 Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS.
