Changing molecular epidemiology and characteristics of methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> isolated from bloodstream infections: nationwide surveillance in Japan in 2019

2021-11-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Synopsis</h4> <h4>Objectives</h4> Some single-centre studies have reported that MRSA carrying the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCC mec ) type IV has been increasing in bloodstream infections (BSIs) in Japan. Therefore, we conducted nationwide surveillance for MRSA BSI to investigate the extent of such change across Japan. <h4>Methods</h4> We recruited 51 Japanese hospitals from the Japanese Associat...
