“…Besides the dermatological conditions, diabetes and chronic renal failures were the most common underlying diseases which were observed among the HAMRSA cases. These findings correlate with the findings of the studies which were done by Hsin Huang et al, [11].…”

“…Combined with the findings that eta was confined to agr-4 MSSA and tst was found in MRSA or MSSA isolates of the agr-1 or agr-3 type, these toxin genes indicate the evolution and spread of certain S. aureus strains. In Asian countries, CA-MRSA clones seem to have an origin distinct from those of CA-MRSA epidemic clones in Australia, the United States, and Europe (7,14,17,18,39). Well-organized prospective surveillance is thus required to understand the epidemiology of CA-MRSA in South Korea.…”

In this study, we investigated the rate of colonization of skin of children with atopic dermatitis (AD) by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and characterized the isolates. Active skin lesions in pediatric AD patients were cultured with Rodac Staph (Komed, Korea). S. aureus isolates were examined for drug susceptibilities, analyzed for the eta, etb, tst, and pvl genes, and typed using agr polymorphism, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of SmaI-restricted chromosomal DNA, and staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) typing. Eighty-seven (75.4%) of 115 patients had cultivable S. aureus isolates, 16 of which (18.3%) were MRSA. All MRSA isolates were susceptible to chloramphenicol, rifampin, cotrimoxazole, and ciprofloxacin. While methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) isolates were composed of 23 isolates of singular types and nine clusters comprising 48 isolates, MRSA isolates were typed into three clones: eight isolates of pulsotype A-agr-1-SCCmec IV, five isolates of pulsotype B-agr-3-SCCmec IIb-etb positive, and three isolates of pulsotype C-agr-3-SCCmec IV. Three SCCmec IVA MRSA isolates were tst positive, but none were positive for the pvl or eta gene. Among 71 MSSA isolates, 7 isolates were tst positive, 6 of which were pulsotype F-agr-3, and 9 of 10 agr-4 isolates were eta positive. The average ages of patients carrying MSSA, SCCmec IVA MRSA, and SCCmec IIb MRSA were 7.7 ؎ 4.6, 3.1 ؎ 1.5, and 8.2 ؎ 3.1 years, respectively. Among the patients carrying MRSA, two patients had been treated with oral antimicrobials, and one had been admitted to the hospital 18 months previously. In conclusion, community-acquired MRSA isolates of a few clones colonized the skin of patients with AD without risk factors for the acquisition of hospital-acquired MRSA, which suggested that the skin of children with AD may represent a significant reservoir of MRSA colonization in the community.

“…10 However, most of these CA-MRSA infections involve skin and soft tissue types, which respond quickly to wound care (incision and drainage) and outpatient oral antimicrobial therapy. 10 In addition, patients with CA-MRSA infections have absence of risk factors associated with HA-MRSA infections, which include recent hospitalization, dialysis, nursing-home residence, and other co-morbid conditions such as diabetes, chronic renal failure, and chronic pulmonary diseases which bring them into contact with healthcare settings. Assessment of pattern of MRSA positive cases in hospital in 2014 depicted that the maximum cases of HA-MRSA were recorded in isolation units which was consistent in 2015.…”
