Human Origin for Livestock-Associated Methicillin-Resistant <named-content content-type="genus-species">Staphylococcus aureus</named-content>

ABSTRACT Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of human morbidity and mortality worldwide. The emergence in the last decade of a livestock-associated MRSA (LA-MRSA) clone which also has the capacity to cause zoonotic infections in humans has raised important questions r...
