| isolation and molecular characterization of methicillin-resistant staphylococci from horses, personnel and environmental sites at an equine hospital in turkey. | the present study was carried out to assess the frequency of methicillin-resistant staphylococci (mrs) among racehorses (n=209) and veterinary personnel (n=13) as well as environmental surfaces (n=14) at an equine hospital in adana, turkey. in addition, species distribution, antimicrobial susceptibility, resistance genes, staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec (sccmec) type and clonality of these isolates were also investigated. mrs were identified by 16s rrna sequencing, and typed by pulsed-fi ... | 2012 | 22820519 |
