However, the clinical impact in urban areas remains unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the genetic epidemiology and clinical characteristics of LA-MRSA in an urban area with a limited livestock population.enCopyright © 2022 Konstantinovski, Schouls, Witteveen, Claas, Kraakman, Kalpoe, Mattson, Hetem, van Elzakker, Kerremans, Hira, Bosch and Gooskens.LA-MRSA CC398MRSAStaphylococcal infection/epidemiologyStaphylococcus aureusantimicrobial surveillancecgMLST clusteringone-healthwhole-genome sequencingArticleFrontiers in microbiology
