We report a skin and soft-tissue infection outbreak among football team members due to a USA300 methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain with genes coding for Panton-Valentine leukocidin and the arginine catabolic mobile element. We postulate that the strain is a community-associated USA300 MRSA strain that lost methicillin resistance but retained important virulence factors.
我们报告了一起由携带编码杀白细胞素和精氨酸分解移动元件的 USA300 型甲氧西林敏感金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)菌株引起的足球队员皮肤和软组织感染爆发。我们推测该菌株是一种社区获得性 USA300 型 MRSA 菌株,它失去了耐甲氧西林的能力,但保留了重要的毒力因子。
