| Popis: | Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important cause of healthcare-associated infections. Isolates of MRSA not belonging to the Brazilian Epidemic Clone (BEC) are colonizing and infecting patients at the hospital. These include strains carrying SCCmec type II, not previously described in the city of Sao Paulo, showing a trend to a MRSA genetic diversity. |
