Drug resistance and genetic characteristics of clinical isolates of staphylococci in Myanmar: high prevalence of PVL among methicillinsusceptible Staphylococcus aureus belonging to various sequence types M.S.Aung H. Zi K.M.Nwe W.W.Maw M.T.Aung N. Nyein M. Kawaguchiya N. Urushibara A. Sumi N. Kobayashi <p>Prevalence, drug resistance and genetic characteristics were analysed for a total of 128 clinical isolates of staphylococci obtained from a&nbsp;tertiary hospital in Myanmar. The dominant species were S. aureus (39%) and S. haemolyticus (35%), followed by S. epidermidis (6%) and&nbsp;S. saprophyticus (5%). The majority of S. haemolyticus isolates (71.1%) harboured mecA, showing high resistance rates to ampicillin,&nbsp;cephalosporins, erythromycin and levofloxacin, while methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) was only 8% (four isolates) among S. aureus\&nbsp;with type IV SCCmec.</p> 2016-10-18 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000003151 https://meral.edu.mm/records/3151
