Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the leading nosocomial pathogen that is also emerging as a zoonotic pathogen. In this review, it was observed that rapid emergence of new MRSA clones at a higher frequency has ushered in a new knowledge on the clonality and epidemic potent...
