12 May 2017
Abstract excerpt
Analysis of the genotypic characteristics and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is essential for the control and treatment of diseases caused by this important pathogen. In this study, MRSA isolates obtained from a tertiary care hospital in China were subjected to spa typing, SCCmec typing, multiple locus sequence typing (MLST) and PCR targeting of the...
