Distribution of the antiseptic resistance genes qacA, qacB and qacC in 497 methicillin-resistant and -susceptible European isolates of Staphylococcus aureus

1 Jun 2001

Abstract excerpt

Sir, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is considered a major bacterial pathogen, because it is resistant to a variety of antibiotics and causes nosocomial infections worldwide. In clinical practice, one of the important hygienic measures used to prevent its spread is the decontamination of potentially contaminated rooms, utensils and colonized patients. It is alarming, therefore, that S. aureus...
