Susceptibility to different antibiotics of MRSA isolates collected in African countries of high, medium, and low human development index.

aVancomycin susceptibility was determined with a disk diffusion test. bVancomycin and linezolid susceptibility was determined with automated system testing. c1 Isolate had a vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration of 6 mg/l determined with the E-test method. d3 Isolates had vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations between 16 and 128 mg/L determined with the agar dilution method. ERY: erythromycin; LIN: lincosamide; TET: tetracycline; RIF: rifampicin; SXT: trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole; CLH: chloramphenicol; GEN: gentamicin; OFX: ofloxacin; CIP: ciprofloxacin; VAN: vancomycin; TEC: teicoplanin; FA: fusidic acid; FOF: fosfomycin; LZD: linezolid; AMK: amikacin; GISA: glycopeptide intermediate S. aureus
