Abstract
We thank the authors for their response to the published articles and additional data regarding methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections at their institution and referencing our research article.1-4 MRSA is certainly endemic in many hospitals from many countries. Effective screening and treatment measures are advisable for decontamination of hospitalized patients. Often adopting long-term strategies is required for active MRSA surveillance and rapid MRSA disease diagnosis so that health care systems can be alerted to endemic situations. Recently, a single nucleotide polymorphism has been reported during genotyping of endemic clones of MRSA.4 [1st paragraph]
