Clonal diversity and trend of methicillin-resistant/susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA/MSSA) from a tertiary care hospital in Myanmar: Increase in ST6-IVa/t304 and identification of notable clones ST22-PT, ST2885-ETA, and ST2990-ETE.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the leading causes of nosocomial infections. This study aimed to clarify the recent trend of molecular epidemiological features of methicillin-resistant and susceptible S. aureus (MRSA/MSSA) isolates from a tertiary care hospital in Myanmar. METHODS: S. aureus clinical isolates from various specimens were genetically classified by the schemes of MLST and other...
