Abstract excerpt
We characterized Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from cystic fibrosis (CF) patients during screening for multidrug-resistant strains to determine mechanisms of antibiotic resistance and conduct spa typing. We investigated 53 S. aureus isolates collected from different CF patients, excluding multiple isolates from the same patient. Genotypic characterization was based on spa type (protein A); staphylococcal...
