Population dynamics of Staphylococcus aureus from Northeastern Nigeria in 2007 and 2012.

Epidemiology and infection - 1 Aug 2014

Abstract excerpt

The population structure of Staphylococcus aureus is changing globally but the situation regarding dominant clones in sub-Saharan Africa is not clear. We therefore assessed changes in the population structure of clinical S. aureus isolates obtained in 2007 (n = 75) and 2012 (n = 75) from Northeastern Nigeria. A reduction in resistance to penicillin, gentamicin, erythromycin and clindamycin was observed in 2012. A...
