Acute osteomyelitis/septic pulmonary embolism associated with familial infections caused by PVL-positive ST6562 MRSA-IVa, a presumptive variant of USA300 clone

Severe cervical abscess due to PVL-positive ST6562 MRSA-IVa, a presumptive variant of ST8-IVa USA300 clone in northern Japan

“…Despite being resistant to penicillins, cephems, erythromycin, and levofloxacin, having resistance genes msrA and aph(3’)-IIIa , and mutations in gyrA / grlA , the isolate HK-YI-22 was susceptible to anti-MRSA drugs including vancomycin ( Table S2 ). These characteristics are almost identical to those of only an ST6562-MRSA-IVa isolate reported from osteomyelitis/pulmonary embolism in Japan [ 4 ], with difference in spa -type and presence of antimicrobial resistance genes. In contrast, absence of ACME in these MRSA clinical isolates were distinct from the USA300 clone.…”

“…Recently, genetic variants of the USA300 clone have been reported worldwide. As one of the variants, PVL-positive MRSA-IVa genotyped as ST6562, a single-locus variant of ST8, has been identified exclusively in Japan [ [2] , [3] , [4] ], while rarely detected. Here we report a case of severe cervical abscess caused by ST6562 MRSA.…”

Interactions of Co(II)- and Zn(II)porphyrin of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(1-methyl-4-pyridinio)porphyrin with DNA in Aqueous Solution and Their Antimicrobial Activities

“…Inappropriate prescriptions of ineffective medications in the environment and the regular transmission of microorganisms around the world by travelers also pose serious problems . Many epidemiological investigations have demonstrated that in the last 30 years, bacterial resistance to all known classes of conventional antibiotics has significantly grown, particularly in hospitals, rendering some regimens useless. , According to reports, for instance, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus type t002 isolates from hospitals in the United States significantly increased in 2013. , According to reports, the centers for disease control and prevention estimated that 10% of patients treated to American hospitals develop a hospital-acquired infection; many of these patients go on to pass away as a result of their diseases . However, the situation is far worse in countries that are developing, where the infection rate is around 75%. − To combat the increasing number of resistant bacterial strains that have arisen in this century, however, the most recent developments in the search for new antibiotics fall short .…”
