Abstract excerpt

USA300 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is the most prevalent MRSA in the United States of America (USA) and a global epidemic threat. We investigated the prevalence of USA300 at a tertiary care hospital in Zurich, Switzerland, where all MRSA strains have been collected and PFGE typed since 1992. These strains were retrospectively compared to the PFGE pattern of USA300 strain JE2. Isolates with...
