Abstract excerpt
Infections as a result of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) are an issue of increasing global healthcare concern. In Europe, this principally involves strains of multi-locus sequence type clonal complex 80 sequence type 80 with methicillin resistance in a staphylococcal chromosomal cassette (SCCmec) type IV arrangement (CC80:ST80-IV). As with other CA-MRSA strains,...
