dc.description.abstractOne hundred and twenty methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains were checked for minimum inhibitory concenteration (MIC) of vancomycin. The results showed that 98 strains (81.7 %) had MIC 32microg/mL) values points towards possible emergence of low level vancomycin resistance in the organisms and may explain the reasons of delayed therapeutic success of vancomycin in S.aureus bacteraemia in some situations.en_US
