Emergence of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec type I with high-level mupirocin resistance among methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

2016-12-08

Abstract excerpt

Objective To investigate the molecular epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance patterns of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among healthcare workers and patients. Methods MRSA isolates were recovered from nasal swabs collected at a tertiary care hospital of Nepal and confirmed on the basis of Gram staining, conventional biochemical tests, and PCR amplification of mecA gene. PCRs were also used...
