Molecular characterization of clinical methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates in South Africa.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Dec 2010

Moodley A, Oosthuysen W F, Dusé A G, Marais E

Abstract excerpt

Eighty-two percent of 320 clinical methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates from various infection sites collected throughout South Africa were separated into five major globally prevalent clusters by SmaI pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, spa, and SCCmec typing. Only one Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive isolate was detected. This is the first detailed MRSA epidemiology study for the whole...
