Abstract excerpt
Sequence type (ST) 239 with SCCmec type III methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ST239-MRSA-III) is the most predominant multidrug-resistant clone in China. The subclone ST239-MRSA-III-t037 has been gradually replaced with ST239-MRSA-III-t030 since 2000. Subclones are characterized by drug resistance profiles. However, the mechanisms of the clonal dynamics and determinants of distinct drug resistance...
