Abstract excerpt
Sequence type (ST) 72 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) type IV (ST72-MRSA-IV) and ST5-MRSA-II are the most significant lineages found in community-associated (CA) and healthcare-associated (HA) environments in Korea, respectively. ST5 HA-MRSA-II tend to display enhanced resistance to host defense-cationic antimicrobial peptides (HD-CAPs) compared to...
