In this manuscript, we show that the most important clonal complexes of Staphylococcus aureus, CC1, CC5, CC8, CC15 and CC97, are now all connected by eburst when run on the Multi-locus sequence typing (mlst) database. The seven loci suggested for the mlst scheme of S.aureus are not enough to separate the most important clones such as New York/Japan and Brazilian Epidemic Clone (BEC). They now all belong to the same clonal complex and this may be the time to think about a new way to discriminate them.
