Molecular characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated in Tunisia.

Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections are an emerging problem, especially related to the production of staphylococcal toxins. In this study we investigate the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of 72 Tunisian MRSA. Our results revealed that these strains are multiresistant.
