Abstract excerpt
This study employed whole-genome sequencing to elucidate the genomic diversity and population structure of Staphylococcus aureus clonal complex 398 (CC398) in the Czech Republic over a 7-year period (2017-2024). Among 1,129 MRSA isolates from human patients, 59 CC398 isolates were identified and characterized via core-genome SNP and whole-genome MLST-based phylogenetic reconstruction. The results revealed two...
