Characteristics of population structure, antimicrobial resistance, virulence factors, and morphology of methicillin-resistant Macrococcus caseolyticus in global clades

Highlights • The global lineage of M. caseolyticus strains were divided into four clades from A to D. • MLST typing revealed novel alleles in M. caseolyticus strains isolated in China. • Global clades carried significantly less AMR genes and more virulence factors than present isolates. • As the clo...
