Abstract excerpt

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) remains a major threat to human populations worldwide. Knowing the extent of MRSA genetic diversity within a healthcare facility may provide important insights into the epidemiology of this important pathogen. MRSA isolates recovered from nasal swabs of patients entering the Intensive Care Unit of the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, USA, from 2008 to...
