Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain USA300: origin and epidemiology

16 Jul 2009

Abstract excerpt

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) PFGE strain type USA300 (multilocus sequence type 8, clonal complex 8, staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec type IV) was first reported in the USA as a cause of skin and soft issue infection among college football players in Pennsylvania and among prisoners in Missouri in 2000. Over the next 5 years, USA300 became the predominant community-associated MRSA...
