Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA) carrying SCC

type IV has emerged in hospitals worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate phenotypic and molecular characteristics of antimicrobial resistance in MRSA SCC
mec
IV isolates, presenting different genetic backgrounds, isolated from hospitals in Rio de Janeiro. The antimicrobial resistance of 128
S. aureus
type IV isolates from 11 hospitals was characterized by the disk diffusion test and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test. Mutations in
par
C gene, which encodes ciprofloxacin resistance, and genes associated with macrolide–lincosamide–streptogramin B (MLS
b
) resistance were also investigated. MRSA isolates belonging to USA400/ST1 (60 isolates), USA800/ST5 (40), USA1100/ST30 (13), and other 11 (15) lineages were mainly resistant to erythromycin (68%), ciprofloxacin (56%), and clindamycin (50%). The highest antimicrobial resistance rates were found among USA400 isolates (
