Prevalence of Fosfomycin Resistance in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Patients in a University Hospital in China from 2013 to 2015.

Abstract excerpt

In this study, we investigated the fosfomycin susceptibility rates among different methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clones. A total of 293 MRSA isolates obtained from Sir Run Run Shaw hospital during 2013-2015 were tested for fosfomycin susceptibility. The overall fosfomycin resistance rate among these MRSA isolates was 53.2%. Although 91.9% of the ST5 MRSA isolates (MIC50>1,024 mg/L) were...
