Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine the genetic characteristics of the Chinese epidemic ST5-SCCmec II-t311 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clone and to investigate the transmission characteristics of the cfr-positive plasmid. METHODS: The complete genome of SR153 was sequenced. Genomic comparison with MRSA strains of other lineages was performed. The cfr-positive plasmid was investigated and compared with...
