Genomic Characterization of USA300 Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to Evaluate Intraclass Transmission and Recurrence of Skin and Soft Tissue Infection (SSTI) Among High-Risk Military Trainees
Whole genome sequencing of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from military trainees with skin and soft tissue infection revealed patterns of intra- and interclass disease transmission. A phylogenetic cluster stemming from 2 training classes separated by 1 year suggested a long-term reservoir for MRSA
