Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus USA400 Clone, Italy
To the Editor: In the past 30 years, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been the leading cause of nosocomial infections throughout the world. Healthcare-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA) isolates are resistant to multiple antimicrobial drugs. This resistance severely hampers treatment options. During the past decade, MRSA isolates have also emerged as major pathogens in the communit...

can produce similar airway cast formation in humans; severe respiratory distress refl ects extensive obstruction of the respiratory system. Healthcare providers should be aware of the possibility of bronchial casts when examining children with infl uenza (H1N1) infection accompanied by atelectasis. Steroids can be administered early in infection to avoid cast formation, and antiviral drug thera...
متن کاملPneumonia and New Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Clone
Necrotizing pneumonia caused by Staphylococcus aureus strains carrying the Panton-Valentin leukocidin gene is a newly described disease entity. We report a new fatal case of necrotizing pneumonia. An S. aureus strain with an agr1 allele and of a new sequence type 377 was recovered, representing a new, emerging, community-acquired methicillin-resistant clone.

Taken together, these fi ndings confi rm an emergent infectious disease associated with OvHV-2 infection in a horse, a species previously considered not susceptible to OvHV-2. The fi nding of vasculitis associated with intralesiona...
