Fig. 1

Molecular characteristics of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates from 19 HIV-infected patients. All 19 isolates were resistant to penicillin, and susceptible to vancomycin, teicoplanin, linezolid, and doxycycline. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests (AST): black indicates resistance, and grey indicates susceptibility. Abbreviations are as follows: ciprofloxacin (CIP), erythromycin (E), fusidic acid (FA), clindamycin (CC), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (SXT). PFGE, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. PVL: black indicates that Pantone-Valentine leucocidin genes were detected. SCCmec, staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec; MLST, multilocus sequence typing. Spa types t2365, t3385 and t3485 are variants of t437, while t2849 is the variant of t008
