Journal ArticleDOI
A field guide to pandemic, epidemic and sporadic clones of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Stefan Monecke,Geoffrey W. Coombs,Anna C. Shore,David C. Coleman,Patrick Eberechi Akpaka,Michael Borg,Henry Chow,Margaret Ip,Lutz Jatzwauk,Daniel Jonas,Kristina Kadlec,Angela M. Kearns,Frédéric Laurent,Frances G. O'Brien,Julie C. Pearson,Antje Ruppelt,Stefan Schwarz,E. Scicluna,Peter Slickers,Hui-Leen Tan,Stefan Weber,Ralf Ehricht +21 more
TL;DR: A high level of biodiversity among MRSA, especially among strains harbouring SCCmec IV and V elements is shown, and the data indicate a high rate of genetic recombination in MRSA involving SCC elements, bacteriophages or other mobile genetic elements and large-scale chromosomal replacements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Diversity among Community Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strains Causing Outpatient Infections in Australia
Geoffrey W. Coombs,Graeme R. Nimmo,Jan M. Bell,Flavia Huygens,Frances G. O'Brien,Frances G. O'Brien,Mary J. Malkowski,Julie C. Pearson,Alex J. Stephens,Philip M. Giffard +9 more
TL;DR: Findings provide support for the acquisition of SCCmec by multiple lineages of S. aureus and confirm that both hospital and community strains of MRSA are now common in nonhospitalized patients throughout Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in the Australian community: an evolving epidemic.
Graeme R. Nimmo,Geoffrey W. Coombs,Julie C. Pearson,Francis G O'Brien,Keryn J. Christiansen,John D. Turnidge,Iain B Gosbell,Peter Collignon,Peter Collignon,Mary-Louise McLaws +9 more
TL;DR: A survey of S. aureus isolates collected prospectively Australia-wide between July 2004 and February 2005 as discussed by the authors showed that the number of community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) isolates rose from 4.7% (118/2498) in 2000 to 7.3% (194/2652) in 2004.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic characterisation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae resistant to both ceftriaxone and azithromycin
Journal ArticleDOI
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clones, Western Australia.
Geoffrey W. Coombs,Julie C. Pearson,Frances G. O'Brien,Ronan J. Murray,Warren B. Grubb,Keryn J. Christiansen +5 more
TL;DR: The emergence of multiple multidrug-resistant Panton-Valentine leukocidin–positive MRSA clones in the community is a major public health concern.
