Clonal dissemination of Staphylococcus aureus isolates causing nosocomial infections, Tehran, Iran.

Abstract

The genetic diversity of S. aureus was confirmed in our hospitals, and ST239-SCCmec III/t037 showed a relatively high prevalence in our study. It seems that assessment of resistance and virulence genes in different S. aureus molecular types is necessary for proper antibiotic consumption.
