Antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Staphylococcus aureus in prosthetic joint infection (PJI) and nasal commensal isolates.

	PJI (n = 100)		Nasal (n = 101)
	Phenotype resistance *(%)	Genotype resistance (%)	Phenotype resistance (%)	Genotype resistance (%)
Methicillin (mecA)	1 (1.0)	1(1.0)	0 (0.0)	0 (0.0)
Fusidic acid (fusB/C)	1 (1.0)	1 (1.0)	1 (1.0)	1 (1.0)
Erythromycin (ermA/B/C)	1 (1.0)	1 (1.0)	1 (1.0)	1 (1.0)
Clindamycin (ermA/B/C)	2 (2.0)	2 (2.0)	1 (1.0)	1 (1.0)
Gentamicin (aac-aphD)	0 (0.0)	0 (0.0)	1 (1.0)	1 (1.0)
Rifampin (rpoB)	3 (3.0)	1 (1.0)	0 (0.0)	0 (0.0)
Trimethoprim-Sulphamethoxazole (dfrA/dfrG)	0 (0.0)	0 (0.0)	1 (1.0)	0 (0.0)
Ciprofloxacin (gyrA/gyrB/parC/parE)	6 (6.0)	2 (2.0)	0 (0.0)	0 (0.0)

^*One PJI isolate was resistant to ciprofloxacin and rifampin, while the rest of the resistant isolates displayed resistance against one agent.
