PCR was performed on all LA-MRSA strains to detect the presence of the mecA and a specific sequence of sau1-hsdS1 gene, markers for methicillin resistance, and CC398, respectively, as previously described [16,17]. S. aureus ATCC 43300 and S. aureus ATCC 29213 were used as mecA positive and negative controls, respectively.
