| The current study had included collection of 30 vaginal swabs from non pregnant reproductive age women in the Teaching Hospital of Maternity and Pediatrics in Al-Diwaniya city for the isolation of Staphylococcus aureus and studying its sensitivity toward seven antibiotics. Bacterial isolates had been identified according to culture features and microscopic characters in addition to the differential tests and the growth on selective media. A total of seven isolates of S. aureus had been isolated. Discs diffusion method had been used for antibiotics sensitivity test. It was found that most bacterial isolates were multidrug resistant, where 100% of isolates were resistant to penicillin, oxacillin, tetracyclin, erythromycin, and clindamycin. Also 71.4% and 57.1% of isolates were resistant to gentamycin and vancomycin respectively. | ||
