USA300 (sequence type 8) has become a major clone of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in northern Taiwan

Abstract excerpt

Most methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates in Taiwan are resistant to clindamycin. MRSA USA300 (sequence type 8), usually susceptible to clindamycin and prevalent in North America, was rarely identified in Taiwan until October 2015. The increasing susceptibility of clinical MRSA isolates to clindamycin prompted the authors to investigate the changing molecular epidemiology of MRSA. Reviewing...
