Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles and mupA Gene Characterization of Staphylococcus epidermidis Recovered from Facial Skin of Healthy Females in Shanghai, China
We observed a considerable level of antimicrobial resistance to several antibiotics and the prevalence of abundant and diverse resistance and virulence genes in the facial skin-origin <i>S. epidermidis</i> isolates. This may pose a potential risk for both public health and <i>S. epidermidis</i> infection.
