We describe 2 fatal cases of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clonal complex 398 septicemia in persons who had no contact with livestock. Whole-genome sequencing of the isolated MRSA strains strongly suggest that both were of animal origin and that the patients had been infected through 2 independent person-to-person transmission chains.
我们描述了2例耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)克隆复合体398败血症的致命病例,患者均未接触过牲畜。对分离出的MRSA菌株进行全基因组测序强烈表明,这两例菌株均源自动物,且患者是通过两条独立的人际传播链而感染的。
