Clinical features, outcomes, and molecular characteristics of an outbreak of Staphylococcus haemolyticus infection, among a mass-burn casualty patient group, in a tertiary center in northern Taiwan.

CONCLUSION: A dominant PFGE type of SH infection was found in these mass-burn casualty patients. Pathogenesis or virulence factors may have contributed to our results. Further study of isolated SH should be conducted. PMID: 30166249 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
