Abstract
Molecular epidemiological surveys of CA-MRSA revealed a wide diversity of genetic backgrounds with only sporadic identification of USA300 isolates during the period 1994-2012.
Highlights
Molecular epidemiological surveys of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) revealed a wide diversity of genetic backgrounds with only sporadic identification of USA300 isolates during the period 1994-2012
Comparative genomics to investigate the emergence of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) USA300 clone in Geneva, Switzerland
We conducted a comparative genomics approach to trace origin, spreading and diversity of CA-MRSA USA300 clones accounting for 50% of CA-MRSA isolates identified in 2013
