Abstract

The spread of pandemic methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clones such as USA300 and EMRSA-15 is a global health concern. As a part of a surveillance study of three long-term care facilities in the Greater Chicago area, phenotypic and molecular characterization of nasal MRSA isolates was performed. We report a cluster of pandemic EMRSA-15, an MRSA clone rarely reported from the United States, detected during this study.
