The association between biocide tolerance and the presence or absence of qac genes among hospital-acquired and community-acquired MRSA isolates

3 Nov 2007

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: The MBCs of three commonly used hospital biocides [containing quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs), chlorhexidine gluconate and triclosan] were determined for clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, which were also screened for genes encoding Qac efflux pumps. METHODS: MBCs were determined by broth microdilution for 94 clinical isolates of S. aureus, including 38 hospital-acquired...
