PFGE dendrogram of 55 MSSA isolates and reference strains. OC* = Outpatient Clinic; ICU* = Intensive Care Units; CE* = Cardiology Emergency; NT* = nontypeable; ST2382* and ST2383* = new ST’s described in this study; t10548* and t10550* = new spa types described in this study. Isolates that are mecA gene positive were considered to be oxacillin-susceptible, mecA-positive S. aureus (OS-MRSA). Three MSSA isolates determined to be OS-MRSA (Sa4, Sa9, Sa45) are not shown because they were nontypeable by PFGE
