Abstract excerpt
The French National Reference Center for Staphylococci currently uses DNA arrays and spa typing for the initial epidemiological characterization of Staphylococcus aureus strains. We here describe the use of whole genome sequencing (WGS) to investigate retrospectively 4 distinct and virulent S. aureus lineages (clonal complexes: CC1, CC5, CC8, CC30) involved in hospital and community outbreaks or sporadic...
