Molecular characteristics and virulence gene profiles of Staphylococcus aureus causing bloodstream infection
ABSTRACT Background: The rate of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among the total of S.aureus isolates decreased to 35.3% in 2017 in China.It is unclear whether the molecular characteristics of S.aureus isolates have changed as the rate decreased.Objective: This study aimed to investigate the molecular characteristics and virulenc
