Genomic characterization of a paediatric MRSA outbreak by next-generation sequencing.

The Journal of hospital infection - 1 Feb 2018

Ugolotti E, Di Marco E, Bandettini R, Biassoni R

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Twelve strains of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated during a suspected outbreak in a paediatric intensive care unit were analysed by whole-genome sequencing (WGS). AIM: To define the clonality of MRSA strains to a high discriminative power, and to evaluate the presence of genetic determinants responsible for antibiotic resistance and virulence. RESULTS: Ten out of 12 strains...
