Phenotypic and genomic analysis of the hypervirulent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST630 clone in China.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) sequence type 630 (ST630) is a rarely reported lineage worldwide. This study aimed to trace the dissemination of the emerging MRSA ST630 clones in China and investigate their virulence potential. We collected 22 ST630-MRSA isolates from across China and performed whole-genome sequencing analysis and virulence characterization on these isolates. Epidemiological results showed that MRSA ST630 isolates were primarily isolated from pus/wound secretions, mainly originating from Jiangxi province, and carried diverse virulence and drug resistance genes. Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec type V (SCCmec V) predominated (11/22, 50.0%) among the MRSA ST630 isolates. Interestingly, nearly half (45.5%) of the 22 ST630-MRSA isolates tested lacked intact SCCmec elements. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that ST630-MRSA could be divided into two distinct clades, with widespread dissemination mainly in Chinese regions. Five representative isolates were selected for phenotypic assays, including hemolysin activity, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, western blot analysis, hydrogen peroxide killing assay, blood killing assay, cell adhesion and invasion assay, and mouse skin abscess model. The results showed that, compared to the USA300-LAC strain, ST630 isolates exhibited particularly strong invasiveness and virulence in the aforementioned phenotypic assays.
