Abstract excerpt

Fifteen pediatric patients as well as the five nursing staff of the Burn Unit of the Hospital D. Estefania in Lisbon, Portugal, were assayed at weekly intervals over a five-month period in order to identify the nature and number of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clones associated with colonization and wound infection. Methicillin resistance was confirmed by a mec-specific DNA probe. MRSA...
