An analysis of a sample has demonstrated that the plasmids carried by these strains, and the type and location of their drug‐resistance determinants, are similar to those of MRSA strains which have been causing problems in some Australian hospitals.

The results indicate that MRSAs which are prevalent in Eastern Australian hospitals are substantially different in the location of their drug resistance determinants to earlier strains reported in the literature.

It is disclosed that once a severe infection has become established, that with a methicillin‐resistant organism is associated with an increased length of stay in hospital, and a greater risk of death.

Strains of methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from clinical sources in Victoria, were screened for the presence of plasmid DNA and resistance to gentamicin, kanamycin, and tobramycin was found to reside on an 18‐ megadalton plasmids.

The isolates from an outbreak of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus at Royal Perth Hospital during a 3 month period in 1982 have been compared genetically with MRSAs isolated at the same hospital during 1969-1973, giving further support to suggestions that the strains of MRSA currently being isolated in Australian hospitals have special properties which have facilitated their spread.
