Objectives: This study reviewed the patient demographic parameters, molecular characteristics and in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing results for MRSA isolates infecting inpatients and outpatients presenting for care to tertiary-care Canadian hospitals between 2007 and 2023.

Methods: DNA sequencing was used to generate spa types. Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) genes were detected by PCR.

What Is Already Known About This Topic?: () represents a clinically significant pathogen and serves as a common causative agent of foodborne intoxication. The strain ST59 constitutes the predominant clone associated with both community-associated methicillin-resistant (CA-MRSA) and hospital-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA) infections. However, staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP) outbreaks attributed to ST59 MRSA have been documented in only a limited number of Chinese cities through retrospective investigations.

Background: One of the most successful and widely-distributed hospital-associated lineages of MRSA is clonal complex 5 (CC5). These strains are known for widespread antibiotic resistance, but less severe disease than CA-MRSA counterparts. Recently, CC5 descendant lineages have appeared globally with hypervirulent properties.

Daptomycin has been used globally since 2003, with a corresponding increase in daptomycin nonsusceptible (DNS) Staphylococcus aureus. In South Korea, daptomycin became available in 2020, but emerging resistance has posed early therapeutic challenges. We observed suspected heteroresistance to daptomycin (h-DAP) in community-acquired methicillin-resistant S.

Purpose: Describe inequities in community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) infections and identify social factors contributing to these disparities.

Methods: We characterized census tract-level risk factors for CA-MRSA infections in the Cook County Health (CCH) catchment population in Cook County, IL from 2009 to 2022 using hierarchical Poisson regression models. We conducted mediation analyses to estimate a) the total risk attributable to and b) proportion of between-tract disparities in CA-MRSA accounted for by census tract-level inequities in risk factors.
