Community-genotype methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clones have emerged in the community worldwide and recently have been spreading into the hospitals. To identify predictors of sequence type 72-MRSA-SCCmec type IV (ST72-MRSA-IV) in patients with community-onset (CO) S. aureus infection, a case-control study was conducted among CO S. aureus infections, including healthcare-associated infections.
