چکیده

A survey was performed in May 2013 to assess methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) nasal colonization in healthy children attending 26 municipal daycare centres in Palermo, Italy. Of the 500 children, ten (2 %) tested positive. Eight MRSA isolates were tst1-positive ST22-MRSA-IVa, spa t223; the other two isolates were identified as ST1-IVa and ST398-V, respectively. tst1-positive ST22-MRSA, spa t223 has been previously identified only in the Middle Eastern area.

The molecular epidemiology of MRSA in Malta and the description of a Maltese epidemic MRSA strain

Malta has one of the highest incidences of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Europe. However, there is only limited typing data available. In order to analyse the local situation, forty-five isolates from the Mater Dei Hospital in Msida, Malta, were characterised using diagnostic microarrays.
