Diversity of SCCmec elements and spa types in South African Staphylococcus aureus mecA-positive blood culture isolates.

BMC infectious diseases - 10 Nov 2020

Singh-Moodley Ashika, Lowe Michelle, Mogokotleng Ruth, Perovic Olga

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus varies depending on the healthcare facility, region and country. To understand its genetic diversity, transmission, dissemination, epidemiology and evolution in a particular geographical location, it is important to understand the similarities and variations in the population being studied. This can be achieved by using various molecular characterisation...
