Abstract
<jats:p>
Methicillin-resistant
<jats:named-content content-type="genus-species">Staphylococcus aureus</jats:named-content>
(MRSA) is a major public health pathogen that disseminates through the emergence of successful dominant clones in specific geographic regions. Knowledge of the dissemination and molecular epidemiology of MRSA in Latin America is scarce and is largely based on small studies or more limited typing techniques that lack the resolution to represent an accurate description of the genomic landscape.
