Rapid differentiation between livestock-associated and livestock-independent Staphylococcus aureus CC398 clades.

Rapid differentiation between livestock-associated and livestock-independent Staphylococcus aureus CC398 clades.

Staphylococcus aureus clonal complex 398 (CC398) isolates cluster into two distinct phylogenetic clades based on single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) revealing a basal human clade and a more derived livestock clade. The scn and tet(M) genes are strongly associated with the human and the livestock...
