Whole genome sequencing revealed high proportions of ST152 MRSA among clinical Staphylococcus aureus isolates from ten hospitals in Ghana

Previous studies in Ghana indicated low prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and predominance of ST152 methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) among clinical isolates. ST152 MRSA clones are associated with severe infections and epidemics. Using whole genome sequencing (W...
