About: ST8:USA300

An Entity of Type: bacteria, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

ST8:USA300 is a strain ofcommunity-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) that has emerged as a particularly antibiotic resistant epidemic that is responsible for rapidly progressive, fatal diseases including necrotizing pneumonia, severe sepsis and necrotizing fasciitis. The epidemiology of infections caused by MRSA is rapidly changing: in the past 10 years, infections caused by this organism have emerged in the community (whereas previously MRSA infections were almost exclusively hospital-acquired). The 2 MRSA clones in the United States most closely associated with community outbreaks, (MW2 strain, ST1 lineage) and USA300, often contain Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) genes and, more frequently, have been associated with skin and soft tissue infections.

dbo:abstract
  • ST8:USA300 ist ein methicillinresistenter Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Typus. Er ist antibiotikaresistent, ansteckend und führt zu schnell fortschreitender, tödlicher Erkrankung mit nekrotischer Lungenentzündung, schwerer Sepsis und nekrotisierender Fasziitis. Die Epidemiologie der Infektionen durch MRSA hat sich stark gewandelt: MRSA sind in den vergangenen zehn Jahren in die Gesellschaft eingedrungen. Die zwei MRSA-Klone USA400 und 300 treten seither in den Vereinigten Staaten und in Westeuropa auf, enthalten meist Panton-Valentine-Leukozidin (PVL-MRSA) und beginnen häufig als Haut- und Weichteilinfektionen. Ausbrüche sogenannter community-associated infections (CA)-MRSA fanden sich in Gefängnissen, Sportmannschaften, unter Rekruten, in Geburtskliniken, Altenheimen und unter aktiven homosexuellen Männern. Sie finden sich heute epidemisch in vielen urbanen Gebieten und sind für die meisten MRSA-Infektionen verantwortlich. Die höchste Prävalen trat dabei im Castro District in San Francisco auf. Weitere Orte mit hohem Auftreten sind Boston und New York City. (de)

Outbreaks of community-associated (CA)-MRSA infections have been reported in correctional facilities, among athletic teams, among military recruits, in newborn nurseries, and among sexually active men who have sex with men, CA-MRSA infections now appear to be endemic in many urban regions and cause most MRSA infections.
