| Abstract: | A total of 112 Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream isolates were genetically characterized. Spa typing and DNA microanalysis exhibited high diversity, resulting in 64 different spa types and 9 different SplitsTree clusters. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) were found in 6 cases only, including the first case of life-stock–associated MRSA (MRSA ST398) in bloodstream infection in Austria. |
