Little is known about the properties of the current strains of Staphylococcus aureus associated with human infections in Thailand. This study examined the rate of resistance to various antimicrobial agents, prevalence of virulence genes, and biofilm formation ability of 60 clinical S. aureus isolates from a single Thai hospital. Moreover, the Staphylococcus protein A gene (spa) type was determined among methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) isolates. Most methicillin-susceptible S. aureus isolates were susceptible to antimicrobials, whereas all MRSA isolates were resistant to erythromycin and clindamycin. The major virulence genes among the isolates were hla (100%), sec (26.7%), and hlb (20%). Meanwhile, 46.7% and 1.7% of the strains exhibited low-grade and high-grade biofilm formation, respectively. Our findings revealed the presence of spa types among MRSA isolates were: t032 (37.5%, 6/16), t088 (25%, 4/16), t001 (12.5%, 2/16), t008 (6.25%, 1/16), t034 (6.25%, 1/16), t439 (6.25%, 1/16), and t1928 (6.25%, 1/16). These findings will be useful for future research on anti-virulence therapies and the epidemiology of the strains circulating in our hospital.  Kulcsszavak: Staphylococcus aureus, antibiotic resistance, virulence genes, spa typing
