    abstract = {In the present study, highly resistant <I>S. aureus</I> were isolated. Identification of multiple genes (<I>mec</I>A, <I>erm</I>A, <I>van</I>A) for 5 multi-resistant <I>S. aureus </I>strains have been attempted. These isolates contain 533 bp <I>mec</I>A fragment, 139 bp <I>erm</I>A fragment and 1030 bp <I>van</I>A fragment by multiplex PCR method. Also antimicrobial susceptibility testing by disk diffusion method was evaluated for 360 <I>S. aureus</I> isolates against 20 antimicrobial agents. Among the 360 isolates, 117 isolates were resistant to &gt;14 antimicrobial agents. The prudent use of antibiotics and rapid and continuous screening for resistant microorganisms should be more focused to prevent the emergence and spread of multi resistant MRSA strains.}
