Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and ST8:USA300 are Staphylococcus.

Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive spherically shaped bacterium, a member of the Bacillota, and is a usual member of the microbiota of the body, frequently found in the upper respiratory tract and on the skin. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus aureus are bacterial diseases, healthcare-associated infections and Staphylococcus.

Venous ulcer
Venous ulcer is defined by the American Venous Forum as "a full-thickness defect of skin, most frequently in the ankle region, that fails to heal spontaneously and is sustained by chronic venous disease, based on venous duplex ultrasound testing." Venous ulcers are wounds that are thought to occur due to improper functioning of venous valves, usually of the legs (hence leg ulcers).
