Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Community-acquired Skin Infections - Volume 11, Number 6—June 2005 - Emerging Infectious Diseases journal - CDC

Abstract

Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is the most common pathogen among patients with skin and soft tissue infections seeking treatment at a Los Angeles (USA) area emergency department. The proportion caused by MRSA increased from 29% in 2001 to 2002 to 64% in 2003 to 2004. No clinical or historical features reliably predict MRSA etiology.
