Molecular Characterization of Clinical Isolates of Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> from Chonburi, Thailand.

ABSTRACT: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), especially methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), remains a major public health concern. This study reports the antimicrobial resistance profiles and molecular characteristics of 31 S. aureus isolated during 2017-2018 from inpatient and outpatient clinical specimens from Queen Sirikit Naval Hospital (QSH) in Chonburi province, Thailand. All isolates were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility. Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) typing, Panton-Valentine leukocidin (pvl) toxin, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and staphylococcal protein A (spa) typing were performed. Twenty-seven isolates were confirmed to be MRSA and exhibited resistance to up
