Changes in molecular characteristics and antimicrobial resistance of invasive Staphylococcus aureus infection strains isolated from children in Kunming, China during the COVID-19 epidemic

Abstract excerpt

Invasive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infection is associated with high rates of mortality in children. No studies have been reported on invasive S. aureus infection among children in Kunming, China, and it remains unknown whether the COVID-19 epidemic has affected S. aureus prevalence in this region. Thus, this study investigated the changes in molecular characteristics and antimicrobial resistance of...
