• Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA): burden of disease and control challenges in Europe. (2010, background): “5www.eurosurveillance.org The epidemic rise in CA-MRSA infections in the USA was mainly due to the successful spread of an MRSA strain associated with the pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) profile USA300 within the MLST ST8/ SCCmec IV clone and harbouring the lukS-lukF genes, encoding the Pant”
• Antibiotic resistance and persistence—Implications for human health and treatment perspectives (2020, unknown): “One prominent pandemic and hypervirulent clonal lineage of community-acquired (CA)-MRSA is the multilocus sequence type (MLST) 8-MRSA-IV USA300 that started spreading in the USA 20 years ago and is a significant health threat and economic factor nowadays (Tenover & Goering, 2009).”
• Evolution of hypervirulence by a MRSA clone through acquisition of a transposable element (2014, background): “In the past decade, most of the effort has been devoted to decoding the virulence of the epidemic community-acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA) clone USA300, which is strongly associated with skin and soft tissue infections in the United States (Tenover and Goering, 2009).”
