CodY deletion enhances in vivo virulence of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clone USA300.
The Staphylococcus aureus global regulator CodY responds to nutrient availability by controlling the expression of target genes. In vitro, CodY represses the transcription of virulence genes, but it is not known if CodY also represses virulence in vivo. The dominant community-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) clone, USA300, is hypervirulent and has increased transcription of ...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization of Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Iranian Burn Patients
Background & Objective: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is reported as one of the important bacterial causes of burn wound infections. This study was carried out to investigate molecular characterization of community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) isolated from Iranian burn patients. Methods: A total of 31 isolates of S. aureus<...
متن کاملCommunity-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus mediastinitis.
Community-associated methicillin (meticillin)-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) continues to emerge as a cause of serious infections, chiefly of the skin and soft tissues. We present the first documented case of CA-MRSA mediastinitis in an adult. Blood and mediastinal isolates were characterized as CA-MRSA by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and susceptibility testing.
متن کاملCommunity-associated Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Historically, infection with strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which are usually multidrug-resistant, has been acquired by persons in hospitals, nursing homes, and other health care institutions. These infections are known as health care-associated MRSA infections. Community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) infection, which bears significant similarities to and differences...
متن کاملCommunity-associated Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Switzerland
Two case-control studies evaluated the prevalence of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) carriage at hospital admission and characteristics of patients with CA-MRSA. Among 14,253 patients, CA-MRSA prevalence was 0.9/1,000 admissions. Although 5 CA-MRSA isolates contained Panton-Valentine leukocidin, only 1 patient had a previous skin infection. No easily m...
