Analysis of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates in the Netherlands in 2003 revealed that 8% of the hospital isolates carried the loci for Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL). Molecular subtyping showed that most Dutch PVL-MRSA genotypes corresponded to well-documented global epidemic types. The most common PVL-MRSA genotypes were sequence type ST8, ST22, ST30, ST59 and ST80. MRSA with ST8 increased in the Netherlands from 1% in 2002 to 17% in 2003. It is emphasised that PVL-MRSA might not only emerge in the community, but also in the hospital environment.
2003年对荷兰耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)分离株的分析显示,8%的医院分离株携带杀白细胞素(PVL)基因座。分子分型表明,大多数荷兰PVL-MRSA基因型与已充分记录的全球流行类型相对应。最常见的PVL-MRSA基因型为序列型ST8、ST22、ST30、ST59和ST80。带有ST8的MRSA在荷兰从2002年的1%增至2003年的17%。需要强调的是,PVL-MRSA不仅可能出现在社区,也可能出现在医院环境中。
