Shuffling of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in successful healthcare-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA)
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) CC22 SCCmecIV is a successful hospital-associated (HA-) MRSA, widespread throughout the world, and now the dominant clone in UK hospitals. We have recently shown that MRSA CC22 is a particularly fit clone, and it rose to dominance in a UK hospital at the same time as it began acquiring an increased range of antibiotic resistances. These resista...
متن کاملThe Distribution of Mobile Genetic Elements (MGEs) in MRSA CC398 Is Associated with Both Host and Country
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clonal complex (CC) 398 has emerged from pigs to cause human infections in Europe and North America. We used a new 62-strain S. aureus microarray (SAM-62) to compare genomes of isolates from three geographical areas (Belgium, Denmark, and Netherlands) to understand how CC398 colonizes different mammalian hosts. The core genomes of 44 pig isolates and ...
متن کاملSurvival of epidemic strains of healthcare (HA-MRSA) and community-associated (CA-MRSA) meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in river-, sea- and swimming pool water.
The aim of this study was to examine the survival dynamics of several epidemic healthcare (HA) and community-associated (CA) meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in river, sea and swimming pool waters. Six different phage-types of HA-MRSA (Irish 1, Irish 2, EMRSA 15, EMRSA 16, distinct type and non-typable), as well as a community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA), were examined in this st...
متن کاملEmergence of community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) in Northern Ireland
In the summer of 2006, a previously healthy 16 year old individual presented to the local Accident and Emergency Department, of a Northern Ireland hospital, with a 1.5cm diameter abscess over the left great toe, surrounded by cellulitis. The lesion had failed to respond to oral flucloxacillin prescribed by the family doctor. Apart from trauma to the toe three weeks previously, the patient had n...
متن کاملZero tolerance for healthcare-associated MRSA bacteraemia: is it realistic?
BACKGROUND The term 'zero tolerance' has recently been applied to healthcare-associated infections, implying that such events are always preventable. This may not be the case for healthcare-associated infections such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteraemia. METHODS We combined information from an epidemiological investigation and bacterial whole-genome sequencing to ...
