Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to gather data on the molecular epidemiology and antibiotic resistance of MRSA in the Czech Republic through the collection and analysis of 441 MRSA isolates from 11 hospitals.
- Results showed that 81.41% of MRSA isolates belonged to the CC5-MRSA clone, with a high prevalence of SCCmec type II, primarily affecting older inpatients and linked to healthcare settings, alongside notable resistance to multiple antibiotics.
- The findings highlighted the dominance of the CC5-MRSA-II lineage, including the emerging t586 strain, and emphasized the necessity for continued MRSA surveillance to keep track of shifts in its epidemiology.

Study Aim: To determine antibiotic resistance and incidence of multidrug resistance among Nontyphoidal salmonellae serovars isolated from humans.
Material And Methods: Consecutive Salmonella isolates from patients, recovered in 48 microbiology laboratories in May 2012, were analyzed in the respective reference laboratories at the National Institute of Public Health. Strains were re-identified and differentiated into serovars.
This study reports the antimicrobial activity of tigecycline and comparator antimicrobials, including linezolid, against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium collected as part of the Tigecycline Evaluation and Surveillance Trial (T.E.S.
