Genetic relatedness between methicillin-susceptible and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: results of a national survey.
OBJECTIVES Surveillance of hospital-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (HA-MRSA) infections has shown the emergence and spread of several epidemic MRSA clones over the past 10 years in Belgium. Whether these clones have been imported from abroad or else have arisen locally via staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) acquisition by successful methicillin-susceptible S. ...
متن کاملMolecular Characteristics of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Isolated from Diabetic Foot Infection
Background & Objective: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), is one of the most frequent causes for hospitalizations in patients with diabetes. A major problem in the treatment of DFU is the increased-incidence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The aim of this study was to determine the SCCmec types of MRSA isolates and their epidemiology among pati...
متن کاملActivity of telavancin against staphylococci and enterococci determined by MIC and resistance selection studies.
This study used CLSI broth microdilution to test the activity of telavancin and comparator antimicrobial agents against 67 methicillin (meticillin)-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates. Twenty-six vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) strains were among the isolates tested; all strains were susceptible to telavancin at < or = 1 microg/ml, whereas 12/26 (46%) of these isolates were...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of the community-associated methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus clones: a synthetic review
The article presents a synthetic molecular characterization of the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and describes the most important community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) clones that circulate nowadays in the world: the main molecular and epidemiological characteristics, as well as notions related to the clinic of infections produced by these clones...
متن کاملCommunity-Acquired Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus: The New Face of an Old Foe?
The burden of infections caused by community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) is increasing among different patient populations globally. As CA-MRSA has become established in healthcare facilities, the range of infections caused by them has also increased. Molecular characterization of CA-MRSA isolates obtained from different centers has revealed significant dive...
