A variety of molecular typing techniques have been developed to investigate the clonal relationship among bacterial isolates, including those associated with nosocomial infections. In this study, the authors evaluated whole-genome mapping as a tool to investigate the genetic relatedness between Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates, including metallo beta-lactamase-positive outbreak isolates.
Here we report an outbreak among 17 patients caused by a single strain of a Multiresistant Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MR-MSSA) in a burn centre. The MR-MSSA strains were resistant to penicillin, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, clindamycin and co-trimoxazole. Further analysis showed an increased prevalence of MR-MSSA carriership in S. aureus colonized patients admitted to the burn...
