SCCmec Genotypes of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Nasal Carriage of Multiple Sclerosis Patients in Iran

摘要

Asymptomatic nasal colonization of Methicillin-Resistant is common in Multiple Sclerosis patients. SCC types I to III are mainly attributed to HA-MRSA strains whereas SCC types IV and V have commonly been reported in CA-MRSA infections. Here, we assessed the frequency of nasal carriage of MRSA in MS patients. This study aimed to evaluate MRSA SCC typing in MS nasal carriage.
