Abstract excerpt

This study investigated the molecular epidemiology of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in the University Hospital of the Canary Islands (HUC) in order to evaluate epidemiological changes over a six-year period. Clinical and epidemiological data were collected between May 2000 and December 2003, and isolates were subjected to pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), multi-locus sequence typing...
