Abstract excerpt

The wide dissemination of a major epidemic methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clone in Brazilian hospitals (Brazilian clone) limits the value of molecular typing techniques such as pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) for outbreak investigation. We report the first outbreak of a catalase-negative strain of MRSA, which was initially detected by the unusual result of this phenotypical test. The...
