Resumen
Staphylococcus aureus, commensal of humans and many animals but also important opportunistic pathogen, present a high genetic plasticity. In the last years, in addition to the genetic lineages associated to the hospital or community in humans, other lineages have emerged in the animal–human interface, being clonal complex (CC) 398 the most relevant one, but also CC9, CC97, CC130, or CC1, among others. In this review we will analyze the characteristics of these lineages in the animal–human interface. Special attention will be given to the lineage CC398 for which the evolution and potential public health concerns will be analyzed, and lineage CC130 specially distributed not only in wild animals and livestock but also emerging in humans. Continuous surveillance is needed to track the evolution of the different genetic lineages of this microorganism in the human and animal ecosystems.
