Predominance of ST22-MRSA-IV Clone and Emergence of Clones for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Clinical Isolates Collected from a Tertiary Teaching Hospital Over a Two-Year Period.
TL;DR: Genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of clinical MRSA isolates collected from a teaching hospital from 2014 - 2015 revealed significant increase in hypertension, dyslipidemia and obesity, and previous exposure to any quinolone cases over the two-year period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic analysis revealed a novel genotype of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus isolated from a fatal sepsis case in dengue patient
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the genomic features of a highly virulent yet pan susceptible S. aureus strain (coded as HS-MSSA) which caused concurrent bacteraemia in a dengue patient, ultimately resulted in sepsis death of the patient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia, 2003-2015: Comparative evaluation of changing trends in molecular epidemiology and clinical outcomes of infections.

TL;DR: It is affirmed community-associated MRSA, which was previously identified from individuals without any exposure to healthcare settings, has now emerged in healthcare setting, causing healthcare- associated MRSA infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
