Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus epidemic clone USA300 in isolates from Florida and Washington

Jill C Roberts et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2006 Jan.

Abstract

We examined 299 methicillin-resistant, community-associated Staphylococcus aureus isolates from Florida and Washington State for the presence of the USA300 epidemic clone. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis demonstrated the epidemic clone in 43% of our S. aureus strains and in isolates from both states. The majority of the USA300 isolates (88%) were from wound infections.

Dendrogram of SmaI-PFGE of community-associated S. aureus isolates. These isolates represent five disease etiologies and were isolated from two states as indicated. USA300 strains are characterized by two closely related patterns as shown above by the following two isolate types: USA300 (control strain obtained from the Network on Antimicrobial Resistance in S. aureus) and CBD739.
