Differences in prevalence of community-associated MRSA and MSSA among U.S. and non-U.S. born populations in six New York community health centers.
As part of a research collaborative, 6 New York City-area community health centers recruited patients with Skin and Soft Tissue Infections (SSTIs). This study found that although not statistically significant, immigrants had lower rates of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections than did native-born participants, and immigrants showed significantly higher rates of Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) wound cultures.

Recurrent furunculosis caused by a community-acquired Staphylococcus aureus strain belonging to the USA300 clone.
This study is a clinical history of a patient with recurrent skin infections caused by a strain of CA-MRSA belonging to the USA300 clone. The strain was recovered repeatedly from wounds and lower body sites but never from the nostrils. The clinical history of recurrence strongly suggests the existence of a common environmental source of the MRSA strain.
