Distribution of virulence genes in bacteremic methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates from various sources

Background/purpose: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) can encode proteins which directly bind bacteria to many tissues and medical devices or catheters to trigger pathogenesis. However, the relationship between genetic backgrounds and virulent factors in MRSA isolates remained incom...
