Prevalence and mechanisms of low- and high-level mupirocin resistance in staphylococci isolated from a Korean hospital

11 Feb 2003

Abstract excerpt

Mupirocin has been used against Gram-positive pathogenic bacteria, and is a specific inhibitor of bacterial isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase. In this work, we have determined the prevalence of mupirocin resistance among staphylococci isolated from a Korean hospital, and have investigated the characteristics of the resistance. In Staphylococcus aureus, the prevalence of high-level mupirocin resistance was 5% (16 of 319),...
