Abstract excerpt
Clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus collected from hospitals in Australia were analyzed for genetic similarities using restriction fragment length polymorphisms. Methicillin-resistant (Mcr) isolates from Melbourne (1982) and from Hobart (1986) were closely related to a methicillin-multires...
