Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Sequential methicillin-resistant (MRSA) isolates from patients following attempted mupirocin nasal decolonization showed an increase in mupirocin resistance (MR) from 6.6% to 20%. MR isolates from patients who failed decolonization yielded indistinguishable types and carried multiple antimicrobial and antiseptic resistance genes, which may guide infection control and prevention.
