Methicillin-ResistantStaphylococcus aureusat Boston City Hospital

Abstract
Twenty-two isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus were obtained from 18 patients; 21 of the strains were phage nontypable, exhibited methicillin resistance to other penicillins and cephalosporins tested, and had characteristics similar to those of previously reported methicillin-resistant strains.
