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.
The goal of this case report is not only to describe a case of congenital rubella syndrome that is currently rarely seen in the Czech Republic but also to emphasize the importance of vaccination against rubella. Rubella usually occurs in susceptible children as a mild illness with rush. Its association with abortions and severe congenital disabilities was noticed in the 1940s.

Background: bacterial infections have become an important issue in current medicine. Recently, their frequency and severity have significantly increased as a result of the rising number of resistant bacteria. One of important mechanisms of resistance is production of broad-spectrum beta-lactamases, namely the ESBL type.
