Background: Staphylococcus aureus is a major pathogenic bacterium associated with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. It exhibits resistance to multiple antibiotics, complicating treatment options.Despite its clinical significance, there is limited data on the prevalence of S. aureus infections and the patterns of methicillin and inducible clindamycin resistance, particularly in Ethiopia. Understanding these resistance trends is essential for guiding appropriate therapy and improving patient outcomes.
Keywords: antimicrobial resistance, Prevalence, S. aureus, Methicillin Resistance, Inducible clindamycin resistance, Ethiopia 1. Introduction
