Abstract:Surveillance schemes for methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA) are widely established at the national and international levels. Due to the simple standardization of the protocol, mainly isolates from bloodstream infections are used. However, the limitations of this simple surveillance system are well described. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of MRSA isolates in a large Slovenian region over 5 years to identify the optimal sample group for assessing the overall MR… Show more
