Characterisation of clinical <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> isolates harbouring <i>mecA</i> or Panton–Valentine leukocidin genes from four tertiary care hospitals in Indonesia

Abstract

We showed that MRSA and PVL-positive MSSA are of clinical importance in Indonesian hospitals. A national surveillance system should be set-up to further monitor this. To reduce the prevalence of MRSA in Indonesian hospitals, a bundle of intervention measures is highly recommended.
