The major combination types were ST8 with SCCmec type IV (ST8-IV) (30.7%), ST1-IV (29.6%), ST2725-IV (9.5%), ST764-II (8.1%) and ST5-II (7.8%). However, there were regional differences among the major types. The most common types in eastern, western and northern Japan were ST1-IV, ST8-IV, and ST5-II and ST764-II, respectively. ST8-IV, ST1-IV and ST2725-IV exhibited greater susceptibility to clindamycin and minocycline than ST764-II and ST5-II, but erm(A) was detected in 93.8% and 100.0% of ST1-IV and ST2725-IV, respectively. Based on drug-resistance and virulence genes, characteristics of ST8-IV were different from those of ST1-IV and ST2725-IV. In addition, there were two major ST8-IV types with different characteristics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study revealed that SCCmec type IV replaced SCCmec type II in MRSA BSIs.
