Abstract excerpt

Twenty-seven (0.51%) USA300 isolates were identified from a pool of 5308 meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates collected in Taiwan between 1995 and October 2015, including 12 infecting isolates from 10 patients. The first two isolates were identified in 2005, and 23 isolates have been collected since 2010. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that all the local isolates were closely related to...
