Identification and Characterization of Vancomycin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> CC45/USA600, North Carolina, USA, 2021
Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) is a rare but serious public health concern. We describe a VRSA case in North Carolina, USA. The isolate from the case belonged to the USA600 lineage and clonal complex 45. No transmission was identified. Confirmed VRSA cases should include a thorough investigation and public health response.
