LA-MRSA CC398 in Danish mink
To elucidate the source of LA-MRSA CC398 in mink farms and to investigate possible transmission to humans, a 161 LA-MRSA CC398 isolates originating from mink (n=65), mink feed (n=16) and humans with reported contact to mink (n=80) were whole-genome sequenced and compared to Danish and international collections of S. aureus CC398 isolates.
