“…In the present study, of 29 isolates (30.5%) that presented mupirocin resistance phenotype, of which 41.4% harbored the mupA gene as confirmed as high-level mupirocin resistant MRSA that is lower than the previous rate reported by Abbasi-Montazeri et al (31) from the south-west of Iran (34%) and is higher than India (5%) (32), and Greece (1.6%) (8). In this survey, the resistance of the isolates was confirmed by the amplification of mupA.…”

“…Today, MRSA is a common cause of severe nosocomial infections worldwide, and is spread by hand and airborne particles, and via environmental routes [3,4]. The burn wound is particularly susceptible to bacterial colonization and infection, due to the physical disruption of the normal skin barrier and the accompanying reduction in cell-mediated immunity [5].…”

“…The two most common pathogens responsible for burn wound infections are Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa [1][2][3][4][5]. Burn wards have been reported to harbor multidrug resistant strains of P. aeruginosa which can colonize burn wounds and lead to infection [6].…”
