Dissemination of Methicillin-Susceptible CC398 Staphylococcus aureus strains in a rural Greek area.
A large collection of Staphylococcus aureus including a. 745 clinically significant isolates that were consecutively recovered from human infections during 2012-2013, b. 19 methicillin-susceptible (MSSA), randomly selected between 2006-2011 from our Staphylococcal Collection, c. 16 human colonizing...
