Clinical characteristics and whole-genome analysis of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in ICU patients from a tertiary hospital in southern China
ICU-derived MRSA isolates in southern China display considerable molecular diversity and varying resistance and virulence profiles. CC5, especially ST764, is associated with multidrug resistance and poor clinical outcomes, highlighting the need for enhanced infection control in ICUs.
