Abstract

Sixty-nine community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus recovered in 6 healthcare centers from northeastern and eastern Argentina were genotyped by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. The predominant pulsotype was widely distributed harbored SCCmec type IV and Panton-Valentine leukocidin genes. Representative isolates were characterized by multilocus sequence typing and spa typing, demonstrating that this clone belonged to ST5 and spa type 311.
