Resistance rather than virulence selects for the clonal spread of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: implications for MRSA transmission.

Abstract excerpt

The population structure of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is predominantly clonal, which may be related to the fitness of the genetic background of the methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) into which the mecA chromosomal resistant determinant has inserted. To test this idea, we assessed whether the genotypes of New York MRSA are present in MSSA populations by using a combination of...
