Abstract excerpt
In this present study, we investigated the phenol-soluble modulin (psm-mec) mutations, the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) types, and toxin production in 102 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates from the northeast and central regions of Thailand. The MRSA isolates carrying -7T>C psm-mec in Type II SCCmec (n = 18) and the MRSA isolates carrying no psm-mec in Type IV (n = 8)...
