Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is the cause of nosocomial infections leading to high mortality. This cross-sectional study was conducted to study a total of 200 clinical specimens from Iranian military hospitals in 2013-2015. Disk agar diffusion test using cefoxitin disk (30 μg) showed methicillin resistance in 59 of our isolates. mecA and femB genes were identified in all of the MRSA isolates using PCR method. Our results demonstrated the spread of HA-MRSA isolates in the community and propagating CA-MRSA isolates in the studied hospitals.
