Prevalence and genetic characteristics of Staphylococcus capitis proto-NRCS-A clone among colonizing isolates from healthy individuals in Japan
The present study revealed that SCCmec-negative S. capitis with nsr/tarJ (proto-NRCS-A clone) is distributed at low prevalence to healthy individuals in Japan. These isolates belonged to arcC-rpoB lineages close to that of the NRCS-A clone.
