Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) isolates that cause infective endocarditis in injection drug users (IDUs) are distinct from CA-MRSA strains that cause endocardial infection as a complication of skin and soft tissue infections. We present a case of CA-MRSA infective endocarditis, review pertinent cases previously published, and describe the molecular characteristics of strains from IDUs and patients with skin and soft tissue infections.
在注射吸毒者（IDU）中引起感染性心内膜炎的社区获得性耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（CA-MRSA）分离株，与作为皮肤和软组织感染并发症引起心内膜感染的CA-MRSA菌株不同。我们报告1例CA-MRSA感染性心内膜炎病例，回顾先前发表的相关病例，并描述来自注射吸毒者及皮肤和软组织感染患者的菌株的分子特征。
