CC8 MRSA Strains Harboring SCCmec Type IVc are Predominant in Colombian Hospitals

20 Jun 2012

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Recent reports highlight the incursion of community-associated MRSA within healthcare settings. However, knowledge of this phenomenon remains limited in Latin America. The aim of this study was to evaluate the molecular epidemiology of MRSA in three tertiary-care hospitals in Medellín, Colombia. METHODS: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted from 2008-2010. MRSA infections were...
