Phylogenetically distinct Staphylococcus aureus lineage prevalent among indigenous communities in northern Australia.

چکیده
The aim was to determine the evolutionary position of the Staphylococcus aureus clonal complex 75 (CC75) that is prevalent in tropical northern Australia. Sequencing of gap, rpoB, sodA, tuf, and hsp60 and the multilocus sequence typing loci revealed a clear separation between conventional S. aureus and CC75 and significant diversity within CC75.

Community-associated strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-susceptible S. aureus in indigenous Northern Australia: epidemiology and outcomes.
BACKGROUND Some strains of non-multidrug-resistant, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (nmMRSA) in Australia are likely to have emerged from strains of methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) in remote Aboriginal communities. OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical epidemiology of infection due to community-associated MRSA strains in an Australian tropical hospital setting with a signifi...

BACKGROUND Regional differences in the prevalence of Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) and PVL isoform-harboring strains as well as in the local population structure of Staphylococcus aureus may influence the clinical spectrum of S. aureus infections. METHODS Using a prospective collection of S. aureus isolates from northern Australia, we determined differences between infections caused by (1...

BACKGROUND Superficial skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are common among the Indigenous population of the desert regions of Central Australia. However, the overall burden of disease and molecular epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus complicated SSTIs has yet to be described in this unique population. METHODS Alice Springs Hospital (ASH) admission data was interrogated to establish the...
متن کاملHigh burden of staphylococcal disease in indigenous communities.
Numerous studies in the past 2 decades have recorded an apparently high rate of Staphylococcus aureus infection in socalled indigenous populations—in particular, a high rate of infection caused by methicillin-resistant strains of S. aureus (MRSA) [1]. Such problems have been documented among Native Americans [2], Pacific Islanders in Hawaii [3], Alaskan Natives [4, 5], aboriginal Canadians (Fir...
متن کاملGlobal implications of the emergence of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Indigenous populations.
The emergence of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Australia may have been facilitated by conditions in socially disadvantaged populations--particularly, remote Australian Aboriginal communities. The appearance of community-associated MRSA was first noticed in Australia during the early 1980s; subsequently, several genetically diverse strains have indepe...
