Australian Staphylococcus aureus Surveillance Outcome Programme (ASSOP) Blood Stream Infection annual reports prepared by the Australian Group on Antimicrobial Resistance

The emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) causing community-onset infections has represented a major change in the epidemiology of S. aureus. Community-onset MRSA (CO-MRSA) is a worldwide phenomenon with epidemics reported in many regions. The Australian Group on Antimicrobial Resistance (AGAR) conducts surveillance of MRSA in Australia. These annual reports are available in PDF format and, for accessibility, in either HTML or Microsoft Word format.
