Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus of sequence type 398 has emerged in Europe, North America and Asia, and has typically been associated with livestock and their human contacts. We analysed two Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-negative t034-ST398 isolates from humans in contact with pigs and two t034-ST398 PVL-positive isolates from two unrelated, adopted Chinese children, using multistrain microarrays to determine genomic...
