Abstract
Twenty seven S. aureus isolates were obtained from cystic fibrosis (CF) patients at a tertiary care hospital in Brazil. Nineteen (70.4%) were methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) and eight (29.6%) methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Of the MRSA isolates, four had SCCmec type III and four had SCCmec type IV. PVL genes were not detected in any of the MSSA or MRSA isolates. New studies are necessary to evaluate the exact impact of these different MRSA clones in CF patients.Entities:
