Diversity among Community Isolates of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Australia
FG O'brien, TT Lim, FN Chong… - Journal of clinical …, 2004 - Am Soc Microbiol
Community methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CMRSA) strains are being isolated
with increasing frequency around the world. In Western Australia CMRSA are endemic in
geographically remote communities and have been found to belong to five different contour-
clamped homogeneous electric field (CHEF) electrophoretic patterns. Representatives of
each of these CHEF patterns have been compared to CMRSA representative of CHEF
patterns from other Australian states and New Zealand. With one exception, all of the …

Genetic Diversity among Community Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strains Causing Outpatient Infections in Australia

Increasing reports of the appearance of novel nonmultiresistant methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus MRSA (MRSA) strains in the community and of the spread of
hospital MRSA strains into the community are cause for public health concern. We
conducted two national surveys of unique isolates of S. aureus from clinical specimens
collected from nonhospitalized patients commencing in 2000 and 2002, respectively. A total
of 11.7% of 2,498 isolates from 2000 and 15.4% of 2,486 isolates from 2002 were MRSA …
