    Abstract : Methicillin-resistenta Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) som bär på genen mecA, har förekommit och spridit sig över hela världen, främst i sjukhusmiljö, och orsakat utbrott av vårdrelaterade (så kallade nosokomiala) infektioner. Dessa infektioner kan inte behandlas med stafylokock-penicilliner och MRSA-bakterierna är ofta resistenta även mot flera andra grupper av antibiotika vilket medför att infektionerna ofta är påtagligt svårbehandlade.

    Abstract : Staphylococcus aureus is a versatile human pathogen causing a wide range of diseases from uncomplicated skin and soft tissue infections to life-threatening invasive diseases like endocarditis, bacteremia, necrotizing pneumonia, and fasciitis. The pathogen has become increasingly resistant to -lactam antibiotics, and of special concern is the rise in community- acquired (CA)-MRSA strains, as specific CA-MRSA clones have been associated with highly aggressive infections.
