“…Three strains were included in CC22 (EMRSA-15), a British clone first detected in 1999 in Spain, always detected in a very low percentage (<2%). 6 The tst gene was detected in one isolate (belonging to CC5/ST5/spat9298/SCCmecI/agrII). This strain seems to be related with TSST-1 positive ST5 Geraldine clone (ST5/spat002/SCCmecI/agrII) frequently found in hospital and community environment in France.…”

“…However, the presence of this clone in Spain has been steadily declining, being replaced by international EMRSA-16 clone (CC30/ST36/SCCmecII), very common in the UK. 4,6 Currently, this clone has an irregular representation in different institutions while CC5/ST125/SCCmecIV has become more prevalent. 16 High percentage of our isolates belonged to this CC5/ST125/SCCmecIV.…”

“…In contrast to phage type 80/ 81 and SWP, the EMRSA-16 (ST36) clone appears to be restricted to the hospital setting and has reduced virulence due in part to low levels of expression of cytolytic toxins (12). Along with the EMRSA-15 (ST22) clone, EMRSA-16 has been endemic in UK hospitals for over 20 y and has also been reported less commonly in other European countries, Southeast Asia, South Africa, Australia, and North America (3,(13)(14)(15)(16)(17). The high rate of MRSA infections and the rapid spread of HA-MRSA between UK hospitals led the UK government to introduce stringent infection control legislation from 2003, resulting in a decrease in rates of nosocomial MRSA infection (18,19).…”
