a
ND, not determined (but non-CC398).
b
Clonal complex associations were determined using http://spaserver.ridom.de and by comparing the results of MLST mapping of previous isolates with similar or related spa types with subsequent clustering by the use of eBURST v3 (http://eburst.mlst.net).
c
MLST typed.
