Molecular Characterization of Clinical Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates in South Africa

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, Volume 48, No. 12, Year 2010

Eighty-two percent of 320 clinical methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates from various infection sites collected throughout South Africa were separated into five major globally prevalent clusters by SmaI pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, spa, and SCCmec typing. Only one Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive isolate was detected. This is the first detailed MRSA epidemiology study for the whole country. Copyright © 2010, American Society for Microbiology.
