Whole Genome Sequencing of Methicillin-Resistant Clinical Isolates Reveals Variable Composite SCC ACME among Different STs in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Oman.

has been recently recognized as an emerging nosocomial pathogen. There are concerns over the increasing virulence potential of this commensal due to the capabilities of transferring mobile genetic elements to through staphylococcal chromosomal cassette (SCC) and the closely related arginine catabolic mobile element (ACME) and the copper and mercury resistance island (COMER). The potential pathogenicity of , particularly from blood stream infections, has been poorly investigated.
