Data are percentage (occurrence), unless otherwise indicated.
Abbreviations: CC, clonal complex; SID, Simpson index of diversity.
a Defined as ≥5 strains with the same spa type.
b Isolates broadly grouped according to their evolutionary relatedness.
c By the Fisher exact test.
d Minor spa types. Two colonizing isolates were non–spa typeable.
