Less frequently occurring genes, i.e., str (streptomycin) and msrD, 1 gene each, and cat (chloramphenicol), 2 genes, harbored by S. haemolyticus; and aadD (amikacin, tobramycin) and fusB (Fusidic acid), 1 gene each harbored by S. epidermidis. SXT = sulphamethoxazole/trimethoprim, AMP = ampicillin, MET = methicillin, CN = gentamicin, TET = tetracycline, E/AZT = erythromycin/azithromycin, C = chloramphenicol, FO=Fosfomycin, E=erythromycin.
