Abstract excerpt

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been endemic in Hospital de Santa Maria, a 1,300-bed teaching hospital in Lisbon, Portugal, since the mid-1980s with a prevalence of 30% in 1993. A total of 54 MRSA and 93 methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) isolates recovered during the first 3 months of 1993 were analyzed for the particular mecA polymorphs and Tn554 attachment sites (in the case of...
