Emerging variants of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus genotypes in Kuwait hospitals.
Frequent changes in the epidemiology of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) occurring worldwide demand regular surveillance to study their composition and distribution in healthcare facilities. We investigated the genotypic characteristics of MRSA obtained in Kuwait hospitals to bette...
