    Global Epidemiology and Evolutionary History of Staphylococcus aureus ST45

    Staphylococcus aureus ST45 is a major global MRSA lineage with huge strain diversity and a high clinical impact. It is one of the most prevalent carrier lineages but also frequently causes severe invasive disease, such as bacteremia. Little is known about its evolutionary history. In this study, we used whole-genome sequencing to analyze a large collection of 451...

    Differentiation of Community-Associated and Livestock-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates and Identification of spa Types by Use of PCR and High-Resolution Melt Curve Analysis

    Infections due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are present worldwide and represent a major public health concern. The capability of PCR followed by high-resolution melt (HRM) curve analysis for the detection of community-associated and livestock-associated MRSA strains and the identification of staphylococcal protein A (spa) locus was...

    A Complete Genome Screening Program of Clinical Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates Identifies the Origin and Progression of a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Outbreak

    Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of Staphylococcus aureus is increasingly used as part of infection prevention practices. In this study, we established a long-read technology-based WGS screening program of all first-episode methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) blood infections at a major...

    Updating Molecular Diagnostics for Detecting Methicillin-Susceptible and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates in Blood Culture Bottles

    Molecular diagnostic tests can be used to provide rapid identification of staphylococcal species in blood culture bottles to help improve antimicrobial stewardship. However, alterations in the target nucleic acid sequences of the microorganisms or their antimicrobial resistance genes can lead to false-negative results.

    A Multicenter Study To Evaluate Ceftaroline Breakpoints: Performance in an Area with High Prevalence of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Sequence Type 5 Lineage

    Ceftaroline (CPT) is a broad-spectrum agent with potent activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The sequence type 5 (ST5) Chilean-Cordobés clone, associated with CPT nonsusceptibility, is dominant in Chile, a region with high rates of MRSA infections.

    Methodology for Whole-Genome Sequencing of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates in a Routine Hospital Microbiology Laboratory

    There is growing evidence for the value of bacterial whole-genome sequencing in hospital outbreak investigations. Our aim was to develop methods that support efficient and accurate low-throughput clinical sequencing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates.

    Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Harboring mecC Still Eludes Us in East London, United Kingdom

    Reports of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) harboring the mecC gene have increased in the UK since first being described. To our diagnostic S. aureus multiplex PCR, a mecC primer set was designed and implemented, and then the prevalence in our patient population...

    Evaluation of the Revised Ceftaroline Disk Diffusion Breakpoints When Testing a Challenge Collection of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates

    We assessed ceftaroline disk diffusion breakpoints for Staphylococcus aureus when applying revised Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) ceftaroline MIC breakpoints. Disk-MIC correlation was evaluated by testing a challenge collection (n = 158) of methicillin-resistant S. aureus...
