Recent studies have suggested that community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) infections are encroaching upon nosocomial settings. We assessed the performance characteristics of a rule using the antimicrobial phenotype to predict genotype. This rule could be applied for epidemiologic purposes to describe the trend in CA-MRSA infections over time.
近期研究表明,社区获得性耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(CA-MRSA)感染正在侵入医院环境。我们评估了一项利用抗菌表型预测基因型的规则的性能特征。该规则可用于流行病学目的,以描述CA-MRSA感染随时间的变化趋势。
