Molecular analysis, biofilm formation, and susceptibility of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus strains causing community- and health care-associated infections in central venous catheters

Abstract INTRODUCTION: The behavior of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated from central venous catheter-related infection was evaluated to determine its biofilm potential, antimicrobial resistance, and adhesion genes. METHODS: A total of 1,156 central venous catheters (CVC) we...

Risk factors for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia: A multicenter matched case-control study

Biomédica (Bogotá); 36 (4), 2016
Abstract Introduction: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a frequent pathogen at critical care services. Its presence leads to increased hospital stays and mortality risk in patients with bacteremia. However, the etiology of this resistance marker has not been fully studied. Objective: To i...
