*Because MRSA isolates could have been subjected to >1 typing method, these categories are not mutually exclusive. ACME, arginine catabolic mobile element; dru, direct repeat unit; MLST, multilocus sequence typing; MRSA, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus; PFGE, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis; PVL, Panton-Valentine leukocidin; SCC, staphylococcal cassette chromosome.
