Virulence Factors Found in Nasal Colonization and Infection of Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA) Isolates and Their Ability to Form a Biofilm

Virulence Factors Found in Nasal Colonization and Infection of Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA) Isolates and Their Ability to Form a Biofilm

Hospitalizations related to Methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA) are frequent, increasing mortality and health costs. In this way, this study aimed to compare the genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of MRSA isolates that colonize and infect patients seen at two...
