Design of the study:

To complete this research, procure 17 surgically removed tonsils from individuals who had a previous history of tonsillitis When we tested the tonsils for Staphylococcus aureus, we sent them to a lab for microbiological testing to look for the particular microorganism. All isolates were tested by PCR for the presence or absence of mepA gene.

Results:

From 17 patients who were 12 years old on the average, 15 Isolates were obtained. mepA gene was present in all isolates. Most isolates were resisting to many antibiotics.

Conclusions:

The isolates of S. aureus were resist to most antibiotics and all havemepA gene .
