The presence of qacA/B gene in Brazilian methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

The presence of qacA/B gene in Brazilian methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

A total of 74 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains isolated from three government hospitals in 2002 and 2003 were examined concerning the distribution of qacA/B gene, which is the determinant of resistance to quaternary ammonium compounds largely employed in hospital disinfecti...
