Molecular landscape of methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> strains in clinical infections from hospitals in Lagos, Nigeria
This study highlights the significant burden of MRSA in Nigeria, with the high-risk Bengal Bay MRSA clone as the most common strain. The widespread resistance to non-β-lactam antibiotics underscores the urgent need for enhanced surveillance, infection control and antibiotic stewardship to mitigate its spread.
