Abstract excerpt

Previous studies in Ghana indicated low prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and predominance of ST152 methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) among clinical isolates. ST152 MRSA clones are associated with severe infections and epidemics. Using whole genome sequencing (WGS), 159 S. aureus isolated from clinical sources (wound, blood, urine, ear, abscess, umbilical cord, eye, vaginal...
