Genomic Update of Phenotypic Prediction Rule for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) USA300 Discloses Jail Transmission Networks with Increased Resistance

ABSTRACT Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a leading cause of health care-associated (HA) and community-associated (CA) infections. USA300 strains are historically CA-MRSA, while USA100 strains are HA-MRSA. Here, we update an antibiotic prediction rule to distinguish these two ge...
