Antimicrobial resistance markers distribution in Staphylococcus aureus from Nsukka, Nigeria.

Background: Multidrug resistance in Staphylococcus aureus continues to influence treatment complications in clinical settings globally. Multidrug-resistant-S. aureus (MDR-SA) is often genetically driven by resistance markers transferable in pathogenic strains.

Molecular characterization of multidrug resistant (MDR) clinical isolates of from Nsukka, South Eastern Nigeria.

Background: is an important nosocomial pathogen with increasing resistance to antibiotics. Objective: This study was performed to evaluate the genetic relatedness of MDR clinical isolates of .

Method: A total of 1000 samples were analysed in the study.
