High-level resistance to mupirocin in meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) jeopardizes its role in nasal decolonization protocols. We carried out a study in 2010 to determine the prevalence of high-level mupirocin resistance in our tertiary-care hospital. The prevalence of high-level resistance to mupirocin in MRSA in this hospital was 11%. There was also complete agreement between the genotypic and phenotypic methods of detection of high-level mupirocin resistance in 24 of the screening isolates.
耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（MRSA）高水平耐粘菌素危及它在鼻腔去定植方案中的作用。我们在 2010 年进行了一项研究，以确定我们的三级保健医院中高水平耐粘菌素的 MRSA 的流行率。该医院的 MRSA 高水平耐粘菌素的流行率为 11％。在 24 个筛选分离株中，高水平耐粘菌素的基因和表型检测方法之间也完全一致。
