Abstract

ABSTRACT Over a period of 7 months, 151 consecutive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus blood isolates were evaluated. None was community acquired. Twenty (13%) were susceptible to four or more antimicrobials, and 95% of these isolates were identified as SCC mec type IV. Molecular typing demonstrated four patterns, with one predominant pattern. Although usually community acquired, SCC mec type IV in our setting is clearly nosocomial.
