All 206 LA-MRSA isolates included in this study were subjected to NGS. In total, 148 LA-MRSA isolates, originating from the 3 predominant LA-MRSA MLVA/spa types, the previously described outbreak (23), the presumed LA-MRSA outbreak, and the 5 presumed nosocomial transmission events (16), were sequenced as part of the 100K genome project by University of California—Davis on a HiSeq 2000 (http://100kgenome.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/). The other 58 isolates were commercially sequenced on a HiSeq 2500 sequencer (BaseClear, Leiden, Netherlands).
