Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Frequent changes in the epidemiology of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) occurring worldwide demand regular surveillance to study their composition and distribution in healthcare facilities. We investigated the genotypic characteristics of MRSA obtained in Kuwait hospitals to better understand their clonal distribution. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 1,327 MRSA isolates obtained...
