Staphylococcus aureus comunitario resistente a cloxacilina: Comunicación de los primeros cinco casos descritos en Chile
Community acquired infections with methicillin resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections have a more aggresive clinical course and involve mostly skin and lungs. These infections appear as outbreaks among prisoners, spoñsmen, men having sex with men and military personnel. The hig...
