Abstract excerpt
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) sequence type (ST) 9 and clonal complex (CC) 398 are primarily livestock-associated, with CC398 also being predominant in dogs and cats in Thailand. We employed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to investigate the genomic characteristics, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and virulence profiles of pet-associated MRSA isolates, highlighting features shared with...
