Emergence of ST8-USA300 and ST8-USA300-Latin American variant: a changing landscape of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Chile

Microbiology Spectrum
Staphylococcus aureus is a versatile pathogen capable of causing various infections. Since the 1960s, the emergence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) has posed a significant challenge due to its antibiotic resistance.
