Abstract

A total of 398 strains of Staphylococcus aureus (99), coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) (99), enterococci (100), Streptococcus pyogenes (18) and Streptococcus agalatiae (82) were in Korean tertiary hospital from Dec. 2004 to Mar, 2005. When minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC), phenotypes and genotypes were determined, 70% of S. aureus, 65.7% of CNS, 78% of enterococci and 37.8% of S. agalatiae were resistant to erythromycin and 95.7% of erythromycin-resistant (EMR) S. aureus, 92.3% of EMR CNS and all of EMR enterococci and S. agalatiae had erm of the methylase gene or msr(A) of the efflux gene.
