Evolution of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clones in Latin America

6 Jan 2010

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a prominent nosocomial bacterial pathogen, associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The global incidence is increasing, and Latin America is no exception. This article reviews MRSA clonal distribution in Latin America and implications for clinical practice. DESIGN: A PubMed literature search (1966-2008) identified 32 articles that...
