Genomic analysis of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) causing infections in children—a Spanish multicenter study
This study observed a high genetic diversity among CA-MRSA isolates causing community-acquired infections in children in Spain, with ST8-IVc as the most prevalent lineage. Nevertheless, genetic relatedness of some isolates from the same as well as different hospitals suggests the dissemination of CA-MRSA among children by contact.
