Genomic Epidemiology Suggests Community Origins of Healthcare-Associated USA300 Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>
14 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hospital-onset (HO) methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections have declined over the past decade due to infection control strategies; community-onset (CO) and healthcare-associated community-onset (HACO) MRSA, particularly USA300, has declined less. We examined the role of community strains to explain the difference. METHODS: We performed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) on MRSA...
