Bloodstream infections with emphasis on Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized and Referral Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia
In this study, the prevalence of Methicillin-resistant S. aureus bacteremia was high, indicating its spread in hospital settings such as intensive care units. This requires routine detection, molecular characterization of mecA gene, and improved infection prevention at the healthcare facility.
