• The molecular evolution of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. (2007, background): “Subgroup founders can be described as single-locus variants or double-locus variants of a founder of a CC that has become prevalent in a population, and that may subsequently have diversified to produce its own set of single-locus variants and double-locus variants [35–38].”
