The Decline of Methicillin Resistance Among Danish <i>Staphylococcus Aureus</i> Strains

Abstract

MRSA of a single or a few clones spread in Danish hospitals in the years 1967 through 1971. Since 1984, only 0.2% of the Danish S aureus population has been MRSA, and imported MRSA strains have been prevented from spreading.
