摘要：

The isolation and characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aures (MRSA) strains from the bilateral nares of nurses and their gowns are described. MRSA strains could be isolated from eigth of fifty bilateral nares of nurses and two of their gowns. Ten MRSA strains were typed using coagulase typing, and divided into two types, coagulase II and III. In this study, we found a new group (producing toxic shock syndrome toxin -1, coagulase III and staphylococcal enterotoxin C) in Japanese MRSA. Furthermore, we confirmed that MRSA strains originating from bilateral nares of three nurses were identical and two strains isolated from the left naris of one nurse and her gown were also identical by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.
