Molecular investigation of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec types and genotypic relations of methicillin-resistant staphylococci isolated from before and after hospital exposed students.

Abstract excerpt

Background: Reservoir of methicillin resistance genes called staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec), plasmids and genomic characterisations of isolates have been widely investigated in epidemiologic research. However, the extent to which these organisms are transported by patients or hospital staff is not entirely clear. Aim: This study aims to investigate the molecular relatedness and plasmid profiles...
