Journal ArticleDOI
spa Typing of Staphylococcus aureus as a Frontline Tool in Epidemiological Typing
Birgit Strommenger,C Braulke,D Heuck,Christiane Schmidt,B. Pasemann,Ulrich Nübel,Wolfgang Witte +6 more
TL;DR: The value of spa typing in combination with BURP (based upon repeat pattern) grouping analysis as a frontline tool in the epidemiological typing of S. aureus is determined, based on a random collection of clinical isolates sent to the German Reference Centre for Staphylococci within a 6-month period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with Panton–Valentine leukocidin genes in central Europe
Wolfgang Witte,C Braulke,C Cuny,Birgit Strommenger,Guido Werner,D Heuck,Uta Jappe,Constanze Wendt,H.-J. Linde,Dag Harmsen +9 more
TL;DR: Investigation of strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus for the presence of the lukS–lukF determinant of Panton–Valentine leukocidin and to further characterize strains found to contain the genes revealed a unique pattern of genomic typing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus containing the Panton-Valentine leucocidin gene in Germany in 2005 and 2006
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors attribute Panton-Valentine leucocidin (PVL)-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to clonal lineages by molecular typing with special reference to isolates exhibiting spa type t008/multilocus sequence type (MLST) ST8 [widely disseminated in the USA as ‘community-associated MRSA (caMRSA), USA300’].
Journal ArticleDOI
Staphylococcus aureus in Dermatology Outpatients with Special Emphasis on Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Strains
Uta Jappe,D Heuck,Birgit Strommenger,Constanze Wendt,Guido Werner,Doris Altmann,Wolfgang Witte +6 more
TL;DR: Investigation of dermatology outpatients with inflammatory skin diseases, leg ulcers, and skin infections for Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-positive S. aureus finds far-1-coded FUS resistance represents a typical marker for the widespread CA-MRSA ST080 in Europe, especially in Germany.
Journal ArticleDOI
Successful Termination of a Furunculosis Outbreak Due to lukS-lukF–Positive, Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus in a German Village by Stringent Decolonization, 2002–2005
Miriam Wiese-Posselt,D Heuck,Andreas Draeger,Martin Mielke,Wolfgang Witte,Andrea Ammon,Osamah Hamouda +6 more
TL;DR: This report describes a successful strategy for terminating the transmission of epidemic strains of S. aureus among a nonhospitalized population in a German village.
