Abstract
•Molecular analysis of Staphylococcus aureus PVL-positive isolates from Brazil.•PVL-positive S. aureus isolates causing bloodstream infection in neonates.•First description of a vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus isolate belonging to USA1100/ST30/CC30 clone.
In a collection of 50 pvl-positive Staphylococcus aureus isolates from 10 Rio de Janeiro hospitals, 18 (36%) were from bloodstream infections, and 31 (62%) carried the SCCmec IV.
