Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The aim of this study was to analyse genotypes for clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), including hetero-vancomycin-resistant Staph. aureus (VRSA), at a Japanese university hospital. METHODS AND RESULTS: Seventy-eight clinical isolates of MRSA were analys...
