Molecular epidemiology and geographical variation of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: a multicentre study across Xinjiang, China
MRSA epidemic strains in Xinjiang exhibit significant regional heterogeneity in molecular typing, resistance, and virulence profiles. Attention should be paid to the drug resistance of MRSA in different regions, while enhanced clinical surveillance is warranted for the unique spa type evolution within the ST22 lineage, particularly the highly virulent and multidrug-resistant ST22-t005-IV clone.
