Emergent and evolving antimicrobial resistance cassettes in community-associated fusidic acid and meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

•Resistance to fusidic acid rose among meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) during the 2000s.•Combined surveillance data and whole-genome sequencing analysis dissected changes in the epidemiology of MRSA.•Fusidic acid resistance emerged fastest in the community, where it was used the mo...
