To study the activity of several antibiotics againstStaphylococcus spp. Material and Methods. The study included1209 strains of Staphylococcus spp. from two institutions;Instituto Nacional de Pediatría (National Instituteof Pediatrics) and Hospital Infantil de México FedericoGómez (Mexico City Childrens Hospital). MinimumInhibitory Concentrations of all antibiotics were determinedby the agar macrodilution technique and standard methodsfrom the National Committee for Clinical LaboratoryStandards. Results. Resistance of S. aureus was 14.2% andthat of coagulase-negative staphylococci was 53.4%. Theactivity of different antibiotics is presented in detail.Conclusions. Surveillance of strains resistant to methicillinis necessary.
