Severe infective endocarditis with systemic embolism due to community associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST630

Abstract: Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) are increasingly causing infective endocarditis over the past decade. Here we report a healthy man who developed a severe acute infective endocarditis with systemic embolism caused by CA-MRSA. The strain was recovered from repeated blood cultures and was characterized using molecular detection and genotyping. The S. aureus isolate was typed as ST630 SCCmecV with spa-type t4549, agrI/IV and was PVL-negative. This is the only case report,… Show more

“…ST239 is recognized as a common epidemic clone in bloodstream infections[ 13 ] and ST630 was recently reported to cause severe infective endocarditis with systemic embolism in China. [ 25 ] CC59 which is always the most clonal complex among patients with SSTIs in China was found only in one MRSA isolate. PVL production by S. aureus may play a key role in the pathogenesis of S. aureus SSTIs.…”

ST239 is recognized as a common epidemic clone in bloodstream infections in China[ 18 ] and ST630 was also recently reported to cause severe infective endocarditis with systemic embolism in China[ 28 ].ST7,found in a total of 12 MSSA isolates, was the most common ST in our study. ST7 has also been found to be among the most common genotypes of MSSA in invasive community-acquired S .…”
