Characterization of a widespread strain of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus associated with nosocomial infections.

The Journal of infectious diseases - 1 Sept 1990

McMurray L W, Kernodle D S, Barg N L

Abstract excerpt

Thirty Staphylococcus aureus isolates from five hospitals were determined to exhibit borderline susceptibility to the antistaphylococcal penicillins. Of the isolates submitted for phage typing, 96% belonged to phage group 94/96, and 96% possessed a common plasmid, pBW15. Also, four reference borderline-susceptible isolates from the Centers for Disease Control belonged to phage group 94/96 and possessed pBW15....
