Rapid Detection of the Pandemic Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Clone ST 239, a Dominant Strain in Asian Hospitals

31 Jan 2008

Abstract excerpt

We describe and validate a novel PCR assay to detect the pandemic hospital-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (HA-MRSA) lineage ST 239. Results based on previously uncharacterized isolates from a hospital in northeast Thailand support the view that at least 90% of HA-MRSA isolates in mainland Asia correspond to ST 239 or close relatives.
