Characterisation of S. aureus/MRSA CC1153 and review of mobile genetic elements carrying the fusidic acid resistance gene fusC
Abstract While many data on molecular epidemiology of MRSA are available for North America, Western Europe and Australia, much less is known on the distribution of MRSA clones elsewhere.Here, we describe a poorly known lineage from the Middle East, CC1153, Cables to which several strains from humans and livestock belong.Isolates were characterised
