متن کاملThe Frequency of Community-acquired Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (ca-mrsa) among Samples in Institute for Public Health in Canton Sarajevo
BACKGROUND The increase in the incidence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections lacking risk factors for exposure to the health care system has been associated with the recognition of new MRSA clones known as community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA). These strains have been distinguished from health care-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA) strains by epidemiological, molecular and ge...
