Genomic and epidemiological evidence of a dominant Panton-Valentine leucocidin-positive Methicillin Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> lineage in Sri Lanka with spread to the United Kingdom and Australia

2019-01-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objective</h4> To undertake the first detailed genomic analysis of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated in Sri Lanka. <h4>Methods</h4> A prospective observational study was performed on 94 MRSA isolates collected over a four month period from the Anuradhapura Teaching Hospital, Sri Lanka. Screening for mec A, mec C and the Panton-Valentine leucocidin (PVL)-associated lukS-PV/lukF-...
