ABSTRACT
Objective: This study aimed to determine Staphylococcus Aureus antibiotic resistance to different antibiotics. Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study at AlMoujtahd Hospital (Damascus Hospital) between 1/6/2017 and 31/12/2017) including all samples of Staphylococcus Aureus infections during the studied period. Results: We found 190 samples with Staphylococcus Aureus Infection. The most resistance was against norfloxacin (70.4%), while the highest sensitivity against Staphylococcus Aureus was by Imipenem (84.3%). Conclusion: Resistance of the Staphylococcus Aureus in our study to different antibiotics was much higher than the resistance percentages
of similar studies and that shows the obvious misuse, overuse and lack of knowledge about their effects among general population.
