Abstract
Although, mecA resistant genes were found only among clinical MRSA, the occurrence of other bi-component leukocidin genes in a large proportion among the isolates from both community and clinical settings is a major concern. The need for effective resistance and virulence factor surveillance, re-enforcement of antibiotic stewardship and good infection control policy, to prevent dissemination of epidemic strains is highlighted.
