Staphylococcus aureus isolates obtained from different clinical sources in two teaching hospitals.
SCCmec and spa typing methods were used for typing isolates.
Out of 44 MRSA strains, 39 (88.5%) were SCCmec III.
Eighteen different spa types were identified.
The t037 was the most frequent spa type significantly correlated with SCCmec III and MRSA strains.
