Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: This study describes the genomic and phenotypic characteristics of a Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL)-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-ST88, causing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in Brazil. METHODS: The MRSA-ST88 isolate (SQ684) was recovered from a tracheal aspirate of a patient with VAP. Identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were performed using...
