Annual Reports

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus annual reports

The emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) causing community-onset infections has represented a major change in the epidemiology of S. aureus. Community-onset MRSA (CO-MRSA) is a worldwide phenomenon with epidemics reported in many regions. The Australian Group on Antimicrobial Resistance (AGAR) conducts surveillance of MRSA in Australia. Their annual reports are available in PDF and HTML format.
