• The STs of 93 isolates from Buenos Aires and Rosario hospitals were achieved by Bartual (B) and Pasteur (P) schemes. • CC113B/CC79P prevailed among Buenos Aires isolates, at least in 1992–2010. • CC109B/CC1P prevailed among Rosario isolates, but CC113B/CC79P was also found. • CC110B/ST25P apparent...
