Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of Staphylococcus Aureus against Vancomycin
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main objective of this investigation is to find out the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Staphylococcus aureus with reduced inclination to vancomycin among 30 clinical isolates of methicillin-resistance Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and was screened by Etest and broth dilution methods. The comparative analysis of MIC for vancomycin by broth dilution and Etest methods discloses that both methods were suitable and was confirmed by the two-tailed P value which was statistically significant.
