–: No data reported; MRSA: meticillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus; GEN: gentamicin; KAN: kanamycin; STR: streptomycin; CHL: chloramphenicol; FOX: cefoxitin; RIF: rifampicin; CIP: ciprofloxacin; ERY: erythromycin; CLI: clindamycin; Q/D: quinupristin/dalfopristin; LZD: linezolid; TIA: tiamulin; MUP: mupirocin; FUS: fusidic acid; SMX: sulfamethoxazole; TMP: trimethoprim; TET: tetracycline;

N: Number of isolates tested.

Where tested, all MRSA isolates were resistant to cefoxitin, as expected. Where tested, all isolates were susceptible to vancomycin.

a

spa‐types: t304 (1 isolate), t008 (1). The t304 isolate was PVL‐negative. The t008 isolate was PVL‐positive.

b

spa‐types: t034 (1 isolate), t044 (1). The t044 isolate was PVL‐positive.

c

spa‐types: t9268 (3 isolates).

d

spa‐types: t3391 (1 isolate).

e

spa–types: t1430 (3 isolates), t034 (3), t2123 (2), t153 (1). PVL status of the t153 isolate was not reported.
