Abstract Background Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus MRSA is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates with rapid development of resistance. Methods A total of 512 MRSA isolates were procured from 6 major hospitals in Riyadh Saudi Arabia and antibiotic susceptibilities and MICs were documented against several antibiotics and vancomycin. SPSS version 10 was used for statistical analysis. Results The prevalence of MRSA in the study hospitals ranged from 12 to 49.4 . Mean patient age was 44 years with males constituting 64.4 and females 35.6 . Approximately 41.5 of the isolates came from patients in the extreme age groups. MIC for vancomycin
