Abstract excerpt
Widespread emergence of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) has changed the epidemiology of S. aureus infections. We examined the molecular types and antibiotic susceptibility of CA-MRSA and health care-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA) among Korean children. MRSA isolates were obtained from patients admitted to university-affiliated tertiary hospitals in Korea, between 2006 and...
