Hospital transmission of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus driven by addictive mupA plasmids

2026-07-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Resistance to mupirocin, a cornerstone of Staphylococcus aureus decolonization, is a recognized cause of decolonization failure. Its role in hospital transmission is unknown. Methods. We conducted genomic surveillance of >10,000 S. aureus isolates from adult patients at two urban hospitals where mupirocin decolonization is routine. Bacterial phenotypes and fitness were evaluated in vitro and...
