Abstract excerpt
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a leading cause of health care-associated (HA) and community-associated (CA) infections. USA300 strains are historically CA-MRSA, while USA100 strains are HA-MRSA. Here, we update an antibiotic prediction rule to distinguish these two genotypes based on antibiotic resistance phenotype using whole-genome sequencing (WGS), a more discriminatory methodology than...
