Genomic Basis of Occurrence of Cryptic Resistance among Oxacillin- and Cefoxitin-Susceptible mecA-Positive Staphylococcus aureus

Genomic Basis of Occurrence of Cryptic Resistance among Oxacillin- and Cefoxitin-Susceptible mecA-Positive Staphylococcus aureus

ABSTRACT The oxacillin– and cefoxitin-susceptible mecA–positive Staphylococcus aureus is a novel “stealth” methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) type. Here, we sequenced the whole genome of two oxacillin- and cefoxitin-susceptible mecA-positive MRSA isolates from breast abscesses in a lactating wom...
