Molecular characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: Dissemination of multidrug-resistant community-associated MRSA and emergence of LA-MRSA, in a healthcare setting.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) continues to be a significant cause of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). In this study, we aimed to characterize the MRSA isolates obtained from HAIs. METHODS: A total of 200 clinical and 13 nasal MRSA isolates were collected and tested. The samples were analyzed for SCCmec typing by using multiplex PCR. Microtiter for biofilm formation were...
