Whole genome sequencing-based characterization and determination of quinolone resistance among methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible S. Aureus isolates from patients attending regional referral hospitals in Tanzania

Abstract Background The emergence of multidrug-resistant termed Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain, driven by the acquisition of resistance gene mecA imposes a substantial challenge in the treatment and control of their related infections. Although quinolones have historically...
