The changing pattern of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus clones in Latin America: implications for clinical practice in the region

1 Dec 2010

Abstract excerpt

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clones belonging to the Brazilian, Pediatric, Cordobes/Chilean and New York/Japan clonal complexes are widely distributed across Latin America, although their individual distribution patterns and resistance to antimicrobial drugs are constantly changing. Furthermore, clones with increased virulence are beginning to appear more frequently both in hospital and...
