Clonal diversity and epidemiological characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus: high prevalence of oxacillin-susceptible mecA-positive Staphylococcus aureus (OS-MRSA) associated with clinical isolates in Brazil
Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is the major cause of global and nosocomial infections with a significant impact in hospitals worldwide. Our objective was to investigate clinical and molecular characteristics of S. aureus isolates causing infections in patients admitted to hospitals from Recife city, Brazil, and investigate the prevalence of oxacillin-susceptible mecA-positive S. aureus (OS-MRSA) in the region, as well as genetically characterize the...
