Abstract excerpt
In many parts of the world, MRSA are responsible for a high proportion of S. aureus infections in patients in contact with healthcare. Molecular studies have shown this is due to one or more MRSA clones that have become endemic in each hospital or healthcare facility, resulting in hospital- or healthcare-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA). The infection rate and clones responsible for HA-MRSA can vary substantially in...
