Genomic characterization of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from patients admitted to intensive care units of a tertiary care hospital: epidemiological risk of nasal carriage of virulent clone during admission.

Abstract excerpt

We conducted a molecular epidemiological study of Staphylococcus aureus using whole-genome sequence data and clinical data of isolates from nasal swabs of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Hiroshima University hospital. The relationship between isolate genotypes and virulence factors, particularly for isolates that caused infectious diseases during ICU admission was compared with those that...
