- Over the past 20 years, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has emerged as an important community pathogen [1, 2]. By pulsedfield gel electrophoresis, USA300 has been identified as the most common MRSA strain circulating in the United States [3], with Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) being identified as a toxin and likely an epidemiologic marker associated with USA300 MRSA [4]. Community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA)—in particular USA300—now causes infections in both community and hospital settings.
