Abstrakt: ABSTRACTThirty-six methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) bloodstream isolates from renal patients were genetically characterized by DNA microarray analysis and spatyping. The isolates were highly clonal, belonging mainly to ST22-MRSA-IV. The immune evasion and enterotoxin gene clusters were found in 29/36 (80%) and 33/36 (92%) isolates, respectively.
