Abstract

Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) of SmaI macrofragments and hybridization of ClaI digests with the mecA- and Tn554-specific DNA probes were used to define the endemic clones of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among strains collected in 1993 and 1998 to 2000 at the University Hospital of Patras, Patras, Greece. Representatives of each clonal type were analyzed by spaA typing, multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec (SCCmec) typing. The results indicated the existence of two successive international MRSA clones: (i) a clonal type with PFGE type A, sequence type (ST) 30 (ST30), and SCCmec type IV, which was very similar to a clone widely spread in the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Finland, and (ii) a clonal type with PFGE type B, ST239, and SCCmec III, which was related to the Brazilian clone. Both clones seem to be widespread in Greece as well. A novel MRSA clone is also described and is characterized by a new MLST type (ST80) associated with SCCmec type IV and with the presence of Panton-Valentine leukocidin genes.
