Salt Tolerance of Methicillin-Resistant and Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2007 The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains causing nosocomial infections is still increasing worldwide, resulting in high morbidity and mortality rates and increased hospital costs (5, 6). So far, in hospitals in The Netherlands, a strict search-and-destroy policy, including screening for MRSA carriership by culturing,

Prevalence of Methicillin‐Resistant and Methicillin‐SusceptibleStaphylococcus aureusin the Community [PDF]
The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2000 Recent reports indicate that community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections are increasing and may now involve persons without risk factors predisposing for acquisition. To estimate the extent of community MRSA in New York City, the prevalence of S. aureus and MRSA nasal colonization in a well-patient population of 500

Comparison of the Virulence of Methicillin‐Resistant and Methicillin‐Sensitive Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
Microbiology and Immunology, 1994 AbstractThe virulence of methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was compared with that of methicillin‐sensitive S. aureus (MSSA), using 13 MRSA and 7 MSSA strains isolated from clinical specimens. The infectivity and lethality of the two groups were examined as to the inoculum required to infect 50% of guinea pigs (ID50) and to kill 50% of ...
