AI Article Synopsis
- - Glycopeptide-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (GRSE) strains are becoming a serious issue in bone and joint infections (BJIs).
- - Research reveals that these GRSE strains, linked to BJIs, display a high level of genetic diversity.
- - Most of these strains stem from related, multiresistant hospital sequence types (STs), particularly ST2, ST5, and ST23.
Article Abstract
Glycopeptide-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (GRSE) strains are of increasing concern in bone and joint infections (BJIs). Using multilocus sequence typing and multilocus variable-number tandem repeat analysis, we show that BJI-associated GRSE strains are genetically diverse but arise from related, multiresistant hospital sequence types (STs), mostly ST2, ST5, and ST23.
