Abstract: ObjectiveTo study the characteristics of the molecular, drug resistance and virulence in community acquired methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus from neonates with skin and soft tissue infections. MethodsCA-MRSA isolates were prospectively collected from Beijing Children's Hospital. All the isolates were characterized by staphylococcal chromosomal cassette (SCCmec) type, staphylococcal protein A (spa) type and multilocus sequence type (MLST). Superantigen toxin gene, sasX gene, antimicrobial susceptibility were also detected. ResultsCellulitis of umbilicus was the most common case, and the most common CA-MRSA clones were ST59-SCCmecIVa-t437. The sasX gene was not detected. Four isolates were oxacillin-susceptible. ConclusionCellulitis of umbilicus was the most common case in neonates with skin and soft tissue infections, and ST59-SCCmecIVa-t437 was the most common clones. OS-MRSA was reported for the first time.
