Abstract excerpt
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) sequence type 630 (ST630) is a rarely reported lineage worldwide. This study aimed to trace the dissemination of the emerging MRSA ST630 clones in China and investigate their virulence potential. We collected 22 ST630-MRSA isolates from across China and performed whole-genome sequencing analysis and virulence characterization on these isolates. Epidemiological...
