Twelve cases of necrotizing pneumonia were detected in 12 patients (median age 25 years) without severe underlying disease. Eight cases occurred in December and January and the accumulation of cases in the winter months preceding the influenza season was statistically significant (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0\u00b7001). The course of pneumonia was very rapid, leading to early sepsis and\/or septic shock in all but one patient. Seven patients died and mortality was fourfold higher in those patients presenting with primary pneumonia than with pneumonia complicating other staphylococcal\/pyogenic infection elsewhere in the body. The <jats:italic>S. aureus<\/jats:italic> isolates displayed considerable genetic variability and were assigned to five lineages CC8 (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 3), CC15 (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 2), CC30 (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 2), CC80 (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 1), and CC121 (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 3) and one was a singleton of ST154 (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 1), all were reported to be associated with community-acquired infection. Four strains were methicillin resistant. The high case-fatality rate can only be reduced by improving the speed of diagnosis and a rapid test to detect <jats:italic>S. aureus<\/jats:italic> in the airways is needed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0950268815001521","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,23]],"date-time":"2015-07-23T03:43:36Z","timestamp":1437623016000},"page":"507-515","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Necrotizing pneumonia due to clonally diverse <i>Staphylococcus aureus<\/i> strains producing Panton-Valentine leukocidin: the Czech experience"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"144","author":[{"given":"J.","family":"R\u00c1JOV\u00c1","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3950-675X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"R.","family":"PANT\u016e\u010cEK","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"PETR\u00c1\u0160","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"I.","family":"VARBANOVOV\u00c1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"I.","family":"MA\u0160LA\u0147OV\u00c1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"BENE\u0160","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0950268815001521_ref28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2350\/08-09-0531.1"},{"key":"S0950268815001521_ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3201\/eid1206.051141"},{"key":"S0950268815001521_ref27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jinf.2014.03.007"},{"key":"S0950268815001521_ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.42.8.3869-3872.2004"},{"key":"S0950268815001521_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(02)07877-7"},{"key":"S0950268815001521_ref40","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0017936"},{"key":"S0950268815001521_ref29","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/INF.0b013e31819d8b71"},{"key":"S0950268815001521_ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02931437"},{"key":"S0950268815001521_ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1462-2920.2010.02226.x"},{"key":"S0950268815001521_ref33","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/AAC.01201-06"},{"key":"S0950268815001521_ref22","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.2807\/esm.09.01.00440-en","article-title":"Emergence of a new community acquired MRSA strain in Germany","volume":"9","author":"Witte","year":"2004","journal-title":"Eurosurveillance"},{"key":"S0950268815001521_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/2110-5820-1-52"},{"key":"S0950268815001521_ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/313461"},{"key":"S0950268815001521_ref34","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/380909"},{"key":"S0950268815001521_ref42","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.02799-13"},{"key":"S0950268815001521_ref9","unstructured":"EUCAST.
