AMR index of isolates from clinical MRSA ST5 and swine associated LA-MRSA ST5. AMR index is defined as the proportion of the tested antibiotics to which an isolate is phenotypically resistant. (A) The AMR indexes determined for clinical isolates show a range of 0.21–0.59 with an average AMR index of 0.50. (B) The AMR indexes determined for swine associated LA-MRSA ST5 isolates. Swine associated isolates had AMR indexes with a wider range (0.14–0.66) and higher maximum AMR index; however, the average AMR index was 0.40, which was significantly less than that of clinical isolates (P < 0.0001).
