Antibiotic resistance patterns of MRSA isolated from the exposed and non-exposed groups

Antibiotic	Exposed group	Non-exposed
	Number (%)	Number (%)
Penicillin	11 (100%)	4 (100%)
Vancomycin	0 (0%)	0 (0%)
Teicoplanin	0 (0%)	0 (0%)
Linezolid	0 (0%)	0 (0%)
Erythromycin*	7 (63.6%)	1 (25%)
Clindamycin†	3 (27.3%)	1 (25%)
Cotrimoxazole	7 (63.6%)	1 (25%)
Netilmicin	0 (0%)	0 (0%)
Gentamicin*	3 (27.3%)	1 (25%)
Ciprofloxacin*	7 (63.6%)	3 (75%)
Tetracycline	0 (0%)	0 (0%)

* Isolates with intermediate resistance were included with the resistant ones.

† Resistance to clindamycin was induced by erythromycin. These isolates showed a positive D-test.
