Molecular and Epidemiological Evidence for Spread of Multiresistant Methicillin-Susceptible <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Strains in Hospitals
21 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
The excision of the staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec (SCCmec) from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains results in methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) strains. In order to determine the proportion and diversity of multidrug-resistant MSSA (MR-MSSA) strains derived from MRSA strains, 247 mecA-negative isolates recovered in 60 French hospitals between 2002 and 2004 were...
