Improved Subtyping of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Staphylococcus aureus</named-content> Clonal Complex 8 Strains Based on Whole-Genome Phylogenetic Analysis

ABSTRACT Strains of Staphylococcus aureus in clonal complex 8 (CC8), including USA300, USA500, and the Iberian clone, are prevalent pathogens in the United States, both inside and outside health care settings. Methods for typing CC8 strains are becoming obsolete as the strains evolve and diversify,...
