Nasal S.aureus carriage rate was found higher than normal population in the haemodialysis patients. Nasal S.aureus colonization is usually accepted of being the origin of various infections in haemodialysis patients. Local mupirocin oinment is widely used to prevent nasal S.aureus colonization. In this study, in vitro resistance patterns of isolated nasal S.aureus strains against some antimicrobial agents was reported in 77 haemodialysis patients in our hospital. According to our results, 19%of isolated strains were resistant to methicillin, 3% to mupirocin, 6% to rifampicin, 9% trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.Keywords: Renal Dialysis, Staphylococcus aureus, Drug Resistance, MicrobialTurkiye Klinikleri J Med Sci 2002, 22:47-49
