Distribution and Clonal Diversity of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and Other Staphylococci in Surface Waters: Detection of ST425-t742 and ST130-t843 <i>mec</i>C-Positive MRSA Strains

Natural aquatic environments represent one of the most important vehicles of bacterial dissemination. Therefore, we aimed to isolate staphylococci from surface waters and to investigate the presence of antimicrobial resistance genes and virulence factors as well as the genetic lineages of all <i&...
