Hospital transmission of borderline oxacillin-resistant < em > Staphylococcus aureus < /em > evaluated by whole-genome sequencing

Conclusion. WGS and cgMLST effectively characterized and confirmed BORSA clusters among at-risk patients with clinical manifestations ranging from mild skin infections to life-threatening bacteraemia. Clinical awareness and active monitoring are therefore warranted for the timely implementation of infection control measures to prevent BORSA transmission in high-risk patients.PMID:34269673 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001384
