Sequence type 8 as an emerging clone of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus causing bloodstream infections in Taiwan

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2021
Sequence type (ST) 8 has not been a common methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clone in Asia until recently. We aimed to determine the clinical significance and microbiological characteristics of MRSA bacteraemia (MRSAB) caused by ST8 and ...
