Introduction: Mupirocin, an inhibitor of bacterial isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase, has used to treat staphylococcal skin infections as well as to eliminate nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus. Mupirocin resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains are seen worldwide but there is no report from Iran. In the present study, by using phenotyping methods (disk diffusion and E-test) in combination with P...
