The community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) epidemic in the United States is largely  21 Jun 2018 Whole genome based cgMLST of the water isolate and comparison to 18 clinical MRSA USA300 isolates from the Austrian national reference  CA-MRSA has become a prominent cause of SSI at our institution. Community- associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) strains have   USA300 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates are usually resistant only to oxacillin, erythromycin, and, increasingly, levofloxacin. The name USA300 was coined to describe the pulsed-field gel electrophoresis ( PFGE) pattern of one of a number of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains  USA300 strains were also associated with increased mortality when compared to USA100 strains (HR 1.79, 95% CI 1.24–2.58). Conclusions. MRSA bacteremia

The deadly strain of MRSA, (pictured) called USA300 is easily passed through skin-to-skin contact. However it also survives on surfaces so can be picked up on public transport, say experts from To determine whether methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) USA300 commonly caused infections among Alaska Natives, we examined clinical MRSA isolates from the Alaska Native Medical Center, Anchorage, during 2000–2006. Among Anchorage-region residents, USA300 was a minor constituent among MRSA isolates in 2000–2003 (11/68, 16%); by 2006, USA300 was the exclusive genotype Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) USA300 is a successful S. aureus clone in the United States and a common cause of skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs). We performed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of 146 USA300 MRSA isolates from SSTIs and colonization cultures obtained from an investigation conducted from 2008 to 2010 in Chicago and Los Angeles households that included an Abstract. The community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) epidemic in the United States is largely attributable to the meteoric rise of a single clone, referred to as USA300. This strain not only spread across the United States in just a few years to become the predominant cause of staphylococcal disease, but it also appears to have increased the overall number Other community-acquired strains of MRSA are ST8:USA500 and ST59:USA1000. In many nations of the world, MRSA strains with different genetic background types have come to predominate among CA-MRSA strains; USA300 easily tops the list in the U.S. and is becoming more common in Canada after its first appearance there in 2004.
