Characterization of highly virulent community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST9-SCCmec XII causing bloodstream infection in China

Previous studies have shown that livestock (LA)-MRSA ST398 evolved from a human-adapted methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) clone. However, detailed information regarding ST9 is still unclear. Here, we characterized a community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) ST...
