Molecular characterization (pulsotype, MLST, SCCmec, PVL) of 90 ciprofloxacin/gentamicin/SXT-susceptible methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates from Taiwan hospitals in 2000 and 2002. Pulsotype, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis type; MLST, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) result in sequence type (ST); SCCmec, staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec type; PVL, Panton-Valentine leukocidin; (No.) following pulsotype and MLST results indicates the number of isolates if >1; numbers b
