Prevalence and Characteristics of qacA/B-positive Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Bloodstream Infection Isolates in a Tertiary Hospital
BACKGROUND: The increasing use of chlorhexidine (CHG) for MRSA decolonization has raised concerns about the emergence of resistance or tolerance to these agents. METHODS: We evaluated the frequency and characteristics of qacA/B chlorhexidine tolerance genes among MRSA bloodstream infection (BSI) iso...
