Watanabe, Hiroshi, Masaki, Hironori, Asoh, Norichika, Watanabe, Kiwao, Oishi, Kazunori, Kobayashi, Shinobu, ...

Using five diagnostic markers, we compared the types of 72 strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated simultaneously from the nasal cavity, pharynx, and sputum from 24...

Low Concentrations of Mupirocin in the Pharynx following Intranasal Application May Contribute to Mupirocin Resistance in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Watanabe, Hiroshi, Masaki, Hironori, Asoh, Norichika, Watanabe, Kiwao, Oishi, Kazunori, Kobayashi, Shinobu, ...

We describe a patient with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonizing the pharynx. The MIC of mupirocin was 0.25 μg/ml before treatment and increased after treatment to 8 μg/ml....
