Clonal diversity of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from bloodstream infections in northern Japan: Identification of spermidine N-acetyltransferase gene (speG) in staphylococcal cassette chromosomes (SCCs) associated with type II and IV SCCmec

Clonal diversity of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from bloodstream infections in northern Japan: Identification of spermidine N-acetyltransferase gene (speG) in staphylococcal cassette chromosomes (SCCs) associated with type II and IV SCCmec

Objectives: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the leading causes of bloodstream infections (BSIs). We aimed to study molecular epidemiological characteristics of MRSA isolates from BSIs in northern Japan to elucidate the recent trend of their clonal diversity. Methods: MRS...
