Abstract
During August 1, 2014-July 31, 2015, in 2 counties in Minnesota, USA, incidence of invasive methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) (27.1 cases/100,000 persons) was twice that of invasive methicillin-resistant S. aureus (13.1 cases/100,000 persons). MSSA isolates were more genetically diverse and susceptible to more antimicrobial drugs than methicillin-resistant S. aureus isolates.
Keywords:
MRSA; MSSA; Minnesota; Staphylococcus aureus; United States; antimicrobial resistance; bacteria; disease burden; invasive disease; methicillin-resistant S. aureus; methicillin-susceptible S. aureus.
