Panton Valentine leukocidin in MRSA strains isolated from patients at the University Hospital of Maracaibo
Staphylococcus aureus is an increasingly important pathogen, due to the arsenal of virulence factors which presents, in addition to its high capacity to generate antimicrobial resistance. The objectives of this research were: confirm methicillin resistance by amplification the mecA gene and the pres...
