Persistence of antibacterial resistance and virulence gene profile of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated from humans and animals

The persistence of antibacterial resistance and virulence gene profile of well characterized MRSA isolated from animals and human was determined using antibiotic susceptibility testing and PCR amplification of virulence and methicillin resistance gene. Antibiotic susceptibility testing revealed a ge...
