Detection and Molecular Characterization of Low Level and High‐Level Mupirocin Resistance in MRSA Isolates
Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) is a significant public health threat, associated with high morbidity and mortality rates due to its resistance to multiple antibiotics. Mupirocin, a topical antibiotic, plays a crucial role in the decolonization of MRSA, preventing infections in clinical and community settings. This study employs both phenotypic (disk diffusion and minimum inhibitory concentration tests) and genotypic (PCR amplification and seque...
