Abstract excerpt
To understand the prevalence and phylogeny of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Chinese hospitals and identify the dominant MRSA lineages causing hospital infections, we collected 101 S. aureus isolates from multiple centers across China, tested their antibiotic sensitivity, and performed whole-genome sequencing. Using our group's database, a core genome-based phylogenetic analysis of 204 S....
