  • Title: Severe necrotizing fasciitis in a human immunodeficiency virus-positive patient caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
    Author: Olsen RJ, Burns KM, Chen L, Kreiswirth BN, Musser JM.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2008 Mar; 46(3):1144-7. PubMed ID: 18199782.
    Abstract:
    Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a rarely reported cause of necrotizing fasciitis. We report an unusually severe case of MRSA necrotizing fasciitis in a previously undiagnosed AIDS patient. Molecular analysis revealed that the strain had the USA300/spa1 genotype, now an abundant cause of community-acquired MRSA infection.
