Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par InVS 6lR0xLyJ. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. We investigated the characteristics of 20 community acquired MRSA strains isolated in a paediatric hospital in Athens. Eighteen of these, all isolated from skin and soft tissue infections, carried the Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) determinants, were found resistant to fusidic acid, tetracycline and kanamycin, and displayed a PFGE pattern identical to that of the well-described ST80 CA-MRSA clone circulating in various European countries.
