Genomic and Epidemiological Features of Two Dominant Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Clones from a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Surveillance Effort

Genomic and Epidemiological Features of Two Dominant Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Clones from a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Surveillance Effort

ABSTRACT Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) is a more prevalent neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) pathogen than methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). However, the introduction and spread of MSSA, the role of systematic decolonization, and optimal infection prevention and contro...
