| Abstract |
Background: Staphylococcus aureus , a leading cause of community-acquired and nosocomial infections, remains a major health problem worldwide. Molecular typing methods, such asspatyping, are vital for the control and, when typing can be made more timely, prevention ofS. aureusspread around healthcare settings. The current study aims to review the literature to report the most common clinicalspatypes around the world, which is important for epidemiological surveys and nosocomial infection control policies.Methods:A search via PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Embase, the Cochrane library, and Scopus was conducted for original articles reporting the most prevalentspatypes amongS. aureusisolates. The search terms were "Staphylococcus aureus, spa typing."Results:The most prevalentspatypes were t032, t008 and t002 in Europe; t037 and t002 in Asia; t008, t002, and t242 in America; t037, t084, and t064 in Africa; and t020 in Australia. In Europe, all the isolates related tospatype t032 were MRSA. In addition,spatype t037 in Africa and t037and t437 in Australia also consisted exclusively of MRSA isolates. Given the fact that more than 95% of the papers we studied originated in the past decade there was no option to study the dynamics of regional clone emergence.Conclusion:This review documents the presence of the most prevalentspatypes in countries, continents and worldwide and shows big local differences in clonal distribution. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 March 2018.
All research outputs
#20,466,701
of 23,025,074 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Microbiology
#22,728
of 25,149 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#382,637
of 445,216 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Microbiology
#515
of 558 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,025,074 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 25,149 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 445,216 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 558 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
