Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To reconstruct the evolutionary history and genomic epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus ST9 in China. METHODS: Using WGS analysis, we described the phylogeny of 131 S. aureus ST9 isolates collected between 2002 and 2016 from 11 provinces in China, including six clinical samples from Taiwan. We also investigated the complex structure and distribution of the lsa(E)-carrying multiresistance gene...
