Dissemination of new methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clones in the community
Copyright © 2002, American Society for Microbiology.Multiple methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clones carrying type IV staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec were identified in the community-acquired MRSA strains of both the United States and Australia. They multiplied much faster than health-care-associated MRSA and were resistant to fewer non-beta-lactam antibiotics. They seem to have been derived from more diverse S. aureus populations than health-care-associated MRSA strains.Keiko Okuma, Kozue Iwakawa, John D. Turnidge, Warren B. Grubb, Jan M. Bell, Frances G.

Allelic variation in genes encoding Panton–Valentine leukocidin from community-associated Staphylococcus aureus
ABSTRACTCommunity-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates characteristically contain the genes for Panton–Valentine leukocidin (PVL), which is a proposed virulence factor. To determine whether different alleles of the PVL genes lukS-PV and lukF-PV occur, and whether they are associated with specific genetic lineages of S. aureus, sequences from 28 S. aureus isolates, representing four different multilocus sequence types, and bacteriophages SLT and PVL were compared. Seven nucleotide polymorphisms were identified, which defined three groups of the lukS-PV and lukF-PV sequence. Only one polymorphism resulted in an amino-acid change. Bacteriophage SLT and isolates of bacteriophage type 80/81 contained the prototypic (founder) lukS-PV and lukF-PV sequence. The alleles were not lineage-specific
