Abstract
A small study was carried out to see if methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Enterobacteriaceae containing blaCTX-M extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) genes could be found in retail meat sold in Singapore. Both were successfully isolated, suggesting the potential for their acquisition in the local community.
