FIG. 1 Current clonal distributions of dominant healthcare-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (HA-MRSA) and community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) strains in East, Southeast and South Asia. The prevalent clone(s) are indicated as multilocus sequence types (STs) followed by the SCCmec type. For CA-MRSA strains, the superscript ‘+’ indicates the presence of Pantoalentine leukocidin (PVL) genes. The superscript ‘–’ indicates the absence of PVL genes.
