  • Title: Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections in two scuba divers returning from the Philippines.
    Author: Bochet M, Francois P, Longtin Y, Gaide O, Renzi G, Harbarth S.
    Journal: J Travel Med; 2008; 15(5):378-81. PubMed ID: 19006518.
    Abstract:
    We describe two patients who had skin infection due to identical strains of community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) after returning from the Philippines. Both patients did not share risk factors for CA-MRSA acquisition besides scuba diving. Scuba diving equipment may represent a possible new mode of acquisition of CA-MRSA.
