Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Molecular typing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has documented the diversity of the genetic background of strains associated with healthcare (HA-MRSA), community (CA-MRSA) and livestock (LA-MRSA). The accessory and core-variable genomes of those strains however remain largely unknown. OBJECTIVE: To compare the genetic background and accessory and core variable gene content of...
