Distribution of Antiseptic Resistance Genes qacA, qacB, and smr in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolated in Toronto, Canada, from 2005 to 2009

Decreased susceptibility to chlorhexidine gluconate (CHDN) in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is associated with the qacA, qacB, and smr genes, encoding efflux pumps.
