Spread of the Brazilian epidemic clone of a multiresistant MRSA in two cities in Argentina.

abstract：PURPOSE:We previously identified an association between CC22 meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bloodstream infection isolates with an elevated vancomycin MIC (V-MIC) in the susceptible range (1.5-2 mg l-1) and endocarditis. This study explores whether these isolates have a specific phenotype consistent ...
