Objective. To determine frequency of Staphylococcus isolation and antimicrobial resistance in hospitalized children with different types of infections.
Materials and Methods. Species identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing in staphylococci were performed on a WalkAway 96 analyzer using Pos Combo type 20 tablets, and mecA gene detection was performed on a RotorGene 6000 amplifier with a set of AmpliSens MRSA-screen FL.
Results. A total of 876 strains of staphylococci isolated in children’s hospitals were tested.
