Antimicrobial resistance trends of methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> in Norway from 2008 to 2017
The findings highlight a complex landscape of MRSA resistance in a low-prevalence country, characterized by a diverse genotypic population and stable longitudinal trends in resistance rates. However, the prevalence of co-resistance to one or more antibiotics among Norwegian MRSA strains was high and increasing. This study thus underscores the importance of continuous surveillance and adherence to antimicrobial guidelines.
