Since their discovery in the 1960s, methicillin-resistant S. aureus
(MRSA) strains continue to present unique challenges to clinicians,
microbiologists, and molecular biologists around the world. These
organisms are typically resistant to several other antimicrobial
agents, including aminoglycosides, chloramphenicol, clindamycin,
fluoroquinolones and macrolides and are susceptible only to
vancomycin. In fact there is increasing evidence that this
susceptibility will soon disappear. In this book, internationally
renowned authors comprehensively review all aspects of MRSA
research. Topics covered include strategies for the detection and
typing of MRSA strains, epidemiological characterisation, molecular
evolution of MRSA, vancoymcin resistant S. aureus, mechanisms of
methicillin resistance, virulence mechanisms in MRSA pathogenesis,
recommended treatment of MRSA infections, and options for the
prevention and control of MRSA infections.
