Molecular characteristics of 78 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus sequence type 239-III isolates, Ohio, USA, 2007–2009. SCCmec, staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec; spa, staphylococcal protein A; rep-PCR, repetitive element PCR; PFGE, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis; dru, direct repeat unit; dt, dru type. The 33 unique genotypic combinations are contrasted by black and gray shading.
