Abstract excerpt

This study assessed the susceptibility trend of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in 5 Hong Kong hospitals from 1995 to 2005. Representative blood isolates were characterized to correlate the changes in resistance phenotypes with the clonal nature of MRSA. The prevalence of multisusceptible (MS) MRSA, defined by sensitivity to gentamicin, co-trimoxazole, and fusidic acid, was found to increase...
