Abstract

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important cause of health care-associated (HA) and community-associated (CA) infections, but the epidemiology of these strains (USA100 and USA300, respectively) now overlaps in health care settings. Although sequencing technology has become more available, many health care facilities still lack the capabilities to perform these analyses.
