Abstract:
Antimicrobial resistance of Staphylococcus aureus is a main factor for the poor prognosis.In China, the detection rate of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in children is annually increasing, especially the community-acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA). This review discussed molecular characteristics, antimicrobial resistance mechanism and antimicrobial resistance progress of CA-MRSA, and analyzed recent molecular epidemiology and changes of drug resistance to CA-MRSA in children from China, thus providing theoretical basis for the prevention and control of CA-MRSA in children.
