متن کاملMulticity outbreak of linezolid-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis associated with clonal spread of a cfr-containing strain.
We report a multicity outbreak of cfr-containing linezolid-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis in Ohio. Thirty-nine isolates were obtained from 2 hospitals. Two clones with different mechanisms of linezolid resistance were circulating in hospital A. One of these contained the cfr gene, and the other a ribosomal mutation. The clone containing cfr was identical in both hospitals.

Twelve of 26 strains were from patients with ,2–12 weeks of exposure to linezolid. This study describes the molecular epidemiology and the mechanism of linezolid resistance in S. epidermidis strains from Greece. Two int...

OBJECTIVES To determine the rates of mupirocin resistance in staphylococci during a 4 year period (1999-2002) in Greece. MATERIALS A total of 1200 Staphylococcus aureus and 2760 coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), consecutively collected from four Greek hospitals located in different geographical areas, were tested for susceptibility to mupirocin using the Etest and a reference agar dilu...
متن کاملPolyphyletic emergence of linezolid-resistant staphylococci in the United States.
Since the year 2000, linezolid has been used in the United States to treat infections caused by antimicrobial-resistant Gram-positive cocci. At present, linezolid-resistant (Linr) Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis strains are rare and the diversity of their genetic backgrounds is unknown. We performed sequence-based strain typing and resistance gene characterization of 46 Lin...
