High colonization by multidrug-resistant and virulent Staphylococcus aureus genotypes among critically ill patients in the COVID-19 pandemic in a Brazilian hospital
The significant impact on antimicrobial resistance rates and the emergence of virulent lineages among S. aureus isolates during the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the close relationship between this disease and antimicrobial resistance and the importance of constant microbiological surveillance to reduce the risks associated with future pandemics.
