Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a tertiary care hospital.
BACKGROUND Phage typing had been utilised extensively to characterise methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) outbreak strains in the past. It is an invaluable tool even today to monitor emergence and dissemination of MRSA strains. AIMS The aim of this study was to determine the prevalent phage types of MRSA in south India and the association between phage types, antibiotic resista...
