Clinical Features and Genotyping Analysis of Community-Acquired Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infections in Taiwanese Children

Abstract

In Taiwan, MRSA was prevalent among pathogens of CA infections in children, and these CA isolates were multiresistant and genetically associated with HA isolates. In an area with a high prevalence of methicillin resistance, for children with putative S. aureus infection, even community-acquired, a glycopeptide-containing regimen should be considered for initial empirical therapy in the case of serious infection.
