Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Infections caused by β-lactamase-producing strains of Staphylococcus aureus have become increasingly difficult to treat due to the expression of multiple virulence factors. This has heightened concerns about managing S. aureus-related infections. This study was conducted to characterize the blaZ gene and selected virulence determinants in β-lactam resistant S. aureus from human sources in...
