Incidence des Staphylococcus aureus résistants à la méticilline dans les infections cutanées de l'enfant survenues en milieu communautaire : étude rétrospective 2000-2005

In this study we found no evidence of epidemic spread of MRSA in community-onset childhood skin infections between 2000-2005. Nevertheless, we report three cases of serious MRSA-induced superantigen-associated skin infection. This argues in favour of the presence of virulent community MRSA clones in France.
