Clinical and Molecular Epidemiology of Invasive Staphylococcus aureus Infections in Chinese Children: A Single-center Experience
نویسندگان
چکیده
Staphylococcus aureus is associated with a variety of invasive infection; typically, these infections occur as sepsis, osteomyelitis, endocarditis, and arthritis. China has a relatively high incidence of invasive S. aureus disease in children.[1] The present study aimed to provide the demographics, clones, and the antimicrobial susceptibility of S. aureus that cause invasive infection in Chinese children.
