Methicillin resistance in staphylococci by patient age.
Notes: Methicillin resistance among staphylococci was evaluated by patient decade of life. Significant differences in mean percent methicillin resistance were found, with higher rates of resistance observed in older patients (P<0.0001 for both S. aureus and CoNS).
Abbreviation: CoNS, coagulase-negative staphylococci.
