^aFormat for genotype is ST/SCCmec type (for MRSA isolates)/presence (pvl+) or absence (pvl−) of carriage of the PVL genes. NA, not applicable.

^b“15slv” indicates a single-locus MLST variant of ST15.

^c“NT” signifies a new MLST type not yet reported in the MLST database.

^dIsolate was not available for genotyping.

^eneg, negative.
