Characterization of Methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Isolates from Fitness Centers in Memphis Metropolitan Area, USA

2016-06-29

Abstract excerpt

Indoor skin-contact surfaces of public fitness centers may serve as reservoirs of potential human transmission of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). We found a high prevalence of multi-drug resistant (MDR)-MRSA of CC59 lineage harboring a variety of extracellular toxin genes from surface swab samples collected from inanimate surfaces of fitness centers in Memphis metropolitan area, USA. Our findi...
