Abstract: ABSTRACTThe aim was to determine the evolutionary position of the Staphylococcus aureusclonal complex 75 (CC75) that is prevalent in tropical northern Australia. Sequencing of gap, rpoB, sodA, tuf, and hsp60and the multilocus sequence typing loci revealed a clear separation between conventional S. aureusand CC75 and significant diversity within CC75.
