Colonization, Fomites, and Virulence: Rethinking the Pathogenesis of Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infection
Abstract
Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is increasingly common worldwide and causes considerable morbidity and mortality. Of concern, community-associated MRSA infections are often recurrent and are highly transmissible to close contacts. The traditional tenet of pathogenesis is that MRSA colonization precedes infection. This has prompted persons involved in efforts to prevent community-associated MRSA infection to incorporate the use of intranasal topical antibiotics for nasal decolonization. However, data from outbreaks of community-associated MRSA infection suggest that skin-skin and skin-fomite contact represent important and common alternative routes of acquisition of the infecting strain. Furthermore, strain characteristics of the most successful community-associated MRSA strain, USA300, may contribute to a distinct pathogenesis. As we develop strategies to prevent community-associated MRSA infection, we must reconsider the pathogenesis of S. aureus. Reliance on models of health care-associated MRSA transmission for prevention of community-associated MRSA infection may result in the development of flawed strategies that attenuate our ability to prevent this serious and potentially deadly infection.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
