| Research Abstract |
Prevalence and molecular epidemiologic characteristics of methicillin-resistant S.aureus (MRSA) were analyzed for numerous Staphylococcus aureus isolates derived from outpatients in hospitals in Hokkaido. As a result, several MRSA strains (genotypes ST6, ST59) which harbor the Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL) gene typical to CA-MRSA, and the genetic element ACME unique to USA300 CA-MRSA clone predominating in USA,were identified, suggesting the wide distribution of these MRSA to the community.
