The studv was performed on 620 Staphyloccus isolated from various clinical specimens sent to Sel-, cuk University, Medical Faculty, Laboratory of-Microbiology and Clinical Microblology De-paı-tment . 86 (14.0 %) of alt microorganisms weı-e detected tü be methicillin-resistant. Activities of van-comycine and teicoplanin against 86 and 46 MRSA microorganisnıs in order were tested by Kirby-Bauer disc dfflısion method. Vancomycine(30 meg) and teicoplanin (30 mcg) standart discs were used and alsa S. aureus (ATCC 25923) standart strains was used as a contı-ol. As a res•lt, 17o resistance against vancomycine in 86 MRSA strains while there were 2 (4.34 %) re-sistant strains against teicoplanin in 46 MRSA mic-roorganisms.
