ST215 was only present in Sweden (25%). A significantly higher prevalence of streptogramin resistance genes [vat(B), vga(A), vga(B)] was found in French (26%) versus Swedish (2%) isolates. These genes were present in all ST87 isolates and in 20% of the French ST5 isolates. The erm(C) gene (resistance to streptogramin A, macrolides and lincosamides) was also more common in the French isolates (77% versus 55% of Swedish isolates), and so was the fusidic acid resistance gene fusB (France: 66%, Sweden: 39%).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This study highlights significant regional differences in S. epidermidis variants causing PJI.
