The increasing rate of community-associated (CA-SA) worldwide has aroused global public concern for decades. Although ST121 clone is one of the prevalent CA-SA in China, there is still limited knowledge about it. In this study, we conducted a genomic analysis of 28 CA-SA ST121 isolates from severe bloodstream infection cases and 175 ST121 isolates from the public database.
