  Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the antibiotic resistance of staphylococci and seek toxin production by Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from urogenital infections. Material and Methods: The staphylococci strains were isolated from urogenital samples collected from hospitalized patients or not. The antibiotic susceptibility was performed by the diffusion method and the search of production of toxin by S. aureus was done by radial immunoprecipitation technique. Results: Out of the 1904 samples analyzed, 80 staphylococci strains were isolated. The major (70%) part of the positive samples were coagulase-negative staphylococci composed of S. saprophyticus (50.0%), S. epidermidis (16.25%), S. xylosus (2.5%), and S. haemolyticus (1.25%). ..
