Susceptibility to different antibiotics of MRSA isolates collected in African countries of high, medium, and low human development index.

aVancomycin susceptibility was determined with a disk diffusion test.
bVancomycin and linezolid susceptibility was determined with automated system testing.
c1 Isolate had a vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration of 6 mg/l determined with the E-test method.
d3 Isolates had vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations between 16 and 128 mg/L determined with the agar dilution method.
