What do they mean by 'Clinical Implications?'

i.e if a pathogen has optimum growth requirments, what sort of things would you consider to be the 'clinical implications' for this?

Clinical implications are medical consequences. So for example, if you discovered a new antibiotic that could eliminate MRSA effectively without generating resistance, the clinical implications would be that MRSA cases could be significantly more rapidly treated and the spread reduced.
