Genomic analysis of ST88 community-acquired methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Ghana

28 Feb 2017

Abstract excerpt

Background The emergence and evolution of community-acquired methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) strains in Africa is poorly understood. However, one particular MRSA lineage called ST88, appears to be rapidly establishing itself as an “African” CA-MRSA clone. In this study, we employed whole genome sequencing to provide more information on the genetic background of ST88 CA-MRSA isolates from...
