Emergence of sequence type 398 as a community- and healthcare-associated methicillin-susceptible staphylococcus aureus in northern Manhattan.

چکیده
The methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) clone sequence type (ST) 398 has increasingly been identified as a pathogen in diverse geographic settings, yet its epidemiology remains incompletely understood. In this case-control study of MSSA infections, we identified ST398 MSSA as both a major community- and hospital-associated MSSA pathogen in the Dominican neighborhood of northern Manhattan.

Background & Aims: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major nosocomial pathogen worldwide. The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors of nasal carriage of MRSA and its antibiotic susceptibility pattern among healthcare workers at Namazi Hospital (Shiraz-Iran) Methods: In a cross-sectional study from July to November 2006, nasal swabs were taken from 600 stratif...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Strain 06BA18369, a Pathogen Associated with Skin and Soft Tissue Infections in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada
Here, we announce the draft sequence of a representative methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) isolate (06BA18369) whose strain type (spa type t311) was commonly isolated from skin and soft tissue coinfections with Streptococcus pyogenes. This strain sequence provides insight into a highly successful community-associated MSSA strain type.

During February 2004-September 2006, familial clusters and sporadic cases of Staphylococcus aureus skin and soft tissue infections were observed in a suburban area near Milan in northern Italy. Molecular typing of the isolates showed an epidemic methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) strain, spa type 005 and sequence type 22 that harbored Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) genes. The first cas...

Livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) is mainly associated with swine and is capable of causing zoonotic infections. The methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) multilocus sequence type (ST) 398 of swine origin is predominant in Europe and North America, whereas ST9 is predominant in Asia. To evaluate the possible emergence of MRSA in swine, we examined the S...
