Abstract
•High prevalence of fusidic acid resistance in methicillin-resistant S. aureus•Dominance of community-acquired MRSA harbouring PVL toxin•Low diversity with the dominance of a particular clone: CC6-MRSA-[IV+fus] (PVL+)•Frequent fusidic acid resistance associated with high prevalence of fusCgene•Recommendation to stop the topical use of fusidic acid
