Characterization of the epidemic European fusidic acid-resistant impetigo clone of Staphylococcus aureus.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 May 2007

O'Neill A J, Larsen A R, Skov R, Henriksen A S, Chopra I

Abstract excerpt

Resistance to the antibiotic fusidic acid in European strains of Staphylococcus aureus causing impetigo has increased in recent years. This increase appears to have resulted from clonal expansion of a strain we have designated the epidemic European fusidic acid-resistant impetigo clone (EEFIC), which carries the fusidic acid resistance determinant fusB on its chromosome. To understand better the properties of the...
