Evolution of community-associated MRSA: a 20-year genomic and epidemiological study in Region Örebro County, Sweden
The SCC<i>mec</i> type IV characteristic appears to be relatively geographically stable, possibly due to its low fitness cost and transductal capabilities. This warrants further studies of SCC<i>mec</i> type IV variant's survival mechanics as well as the effects of migratory flow on local epidemiology, in preparation for future possible outbreaks.
