Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to demonstrate the characteristics of qacA/B-positive Staphylococcus aureus in China. METHODS: One hundred and forty-five MRSA and 178 MSSA from clinical specimens from seven hospitals in different regions of China, 70 MRSA from superficial sites of patients and 106 MRSA from environmental samples from an ICU were collected and screened for the presence of the qacA/B gene. The...
