Ward-specific clustering of methicillin-resistant < i > Staphylococcus aureus spa < /i > -type t037 and t045 in two hospitals in South Africa: 2013 to 2017

ConclusionThe low number of SNP differences is suggestive of uninterrupted strain transmission and the persistence of t037-III-MRSA and t045-I-MRSA from 2013 to 2017 in the two studied hospitals. Alternative infection prevention and control strategies should be considered to supplement control efforts.
