Figure 2.

Animal species, clonal lineages and prevalence of MRSA identified in the Africa continent. Prevalence (%) is calculated considering the total number of samples of each animal species included in the different studies and is indicated when this estimation is possible with the data shown in each publication. Moreover, in those cases, the number of samples studied is also indicated (%/number of samples). The clonal complexes were determined by e-BURST when sequence types were indicated in the study and were presumptively assumed according to the spa-types when the sequences types were not indicated in the study.
