Distribution of Fusidic Acid Resistance Determinants in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract excerpt

The prevalence of resistance to fusidic acid in clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), has increased in the past 2 decades. However, there are limited data regarding the relative importance in this process of the different staphylococcal determinants that mediate resistance to fusidic acid. Furthermore, the roles played by clonal dissemination of fusidic...
