The continuing increase in the incidence of these infections represents an important problem in many countries, since they are associated with a high degree of morbidity and mortality. Aim of the work: This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of pathogenas in different type of N.C.I with special reference to MRSA as a causative agent of nosocomia! infection. In addition, genotyping of the isolates will be done to add precise markers for the epidemiological investigations of MRSA. Patients : This study was conducted over a period of eight months starting from October 1998 till the end of May 1999 on all patients (36700) admitted to Mansoura University Hospital.
