Detection of qacA/B in Clinical Isolates of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus from a Regional Healthcare Network in the Eastern United States

19 Oct 2011

Abstract excerpt

We describe the clinical, microbiologic, and molecular features of the first series of qacA/B-containing strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from infected US patients. All qac-carrying strains were clonally diverse, and qacA strains exhibited increased tolerance to chlorhexidine as measured by minimum inhibitory concentrations, minimum bactericidal concentrations, and postexposure colony counts.
