“…The prevalence of PVL‐positive CA‐MRSA strains was increasing during the study period. Three of them were the CC59‐V Taiwan clone, which is frequent among Asian PVL‐positive CA‐MRSA strains . The PVL‐positive CC59‐V strains found in this study were negative for et genes despite being derived from patients with impetigo.…”
