Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: Collectively, 143 isolates of S. aureus were obtained from Tehran University of Medical Sciences hospitals and confirmed with biochemical tests. Then polymerase chain reaction was used to detect luk-PV loci and luk-E/D. Coagulase gene was used as internal control. The antibiotic susceptibility patterns of isolates were determined using disk diffusion method. RESULTS: Out of 149 S. aureus isolates 24.2% were luk-PV positive and 73.8% were luk-E/D positive. CONCLUSION: There was PVL positive MRSA isolates with high prevalence in evaluated hospitals. The diseases from these bacteria are with extensive necrosis, leucopenia and even death. We desire that, prevent from progress and death by diagnosis and right treatment.
