Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains present an increasing clinical problem. Analysis of 2679 strains submitted to a reference laboratory in the first quarter of 1983 and 3050 strains submitted in summer 1984 showed 479 and 593 multi-resistant strains. The proportion of methicillin-resistant strains classified as epidemic rose from 5.9 to 10.2%. Other methicillin-resistant strains continued to occur but other methicillin-sensitive multi-resistant strains appeared to fall. A strain with defined characters could be recognized in the Thames regions.
耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（MRSA）菌株带来的临床问题日益严重。对1983年第一季度提交至一家参考实验室的2679株菌株以及1984年夏季提交的3050株菌株进行分析，结果显示多重耐药菌株分别有479株和593株。被归类为流行菌株的耐甲氧西林菌株比例从5.9%升至10.2%。其他耐甲氧西林菌株继续出现，但其他对甲氧西林敏感的多重耐药菌株似乎有所减少。在泰晤士地区可以识别出具有特定特征的菌株。
