This study carried out a molecular investigation to determine the prevalence of the community-associated antimicrobial-resistant\n S. aureus<\/jats:italic>\n and methicillin-resistant\n S. aureus<\/jats:italic>\n (MRSA). The percentage resistance from the nasal swabs of healthy volunteers in 2003 in Seoul is as follows: penicillin (91%), erythromycin (EM, 14%), gentamicin (GM, 9.3%), tetracycline (TE, 8.2%), cephalothin (4%), oxacillin (OX, MRSA; 3.8%), clindamycin (CC, 2.6%), ciprofloxacin (CIP, 0.8%), and sulfamethoxazole\/trimethoprim (0.6%). The community-associated MRSA (C-MRSA) strains were examined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis of the\n Sma<\/jats:italic>\n I macro-fragments, multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and staphylococcal cassette chromosome\n mec<\/jats:italic>\n (SCC\n mec<\/jats:italic>\n ) typing using the PCR analysis. The Korean C-MRSA isolates were clustered into three distinct groups. One PFGE group containing the C-MRSA strains showed resistance to CC, EM, and GM, a high level (32\u201396\n \u03bc<\/jats:italic>\n g\/ml) of resistance to methicillin, sequence type 5 (ST5), and SCC\n mec<\/jats:italic>\n type II, which is the most common hospital associated-MRSA (H-MRSA) isolated in Korea. These results highlight the heterogeneous genetic background of the C-MRSA as well as the pervasiveness of the H-MRSA isolates in this community.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/mdr.2007.709","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,10,21]],"date-time":"2007-10-21T11:12:25Z","timestamp":1192965145000},"page":"178-185","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Molecular Epidemiology of Community-Associated Antimicrobial-Resistant\n Staphylococcus aureus<\/i>\n in Seoul, Korea (2003): Pervasiveness of Multidrug-Resistant SCC\n mec<\/i>\n Type II Methicillin-Resistant\n S. aureus<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Hye-Yoon","family":"Jeong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Korea Food and Drug Administration, Seoul, Republic of Korea."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jung-Eun","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Korea Food and Drug Administration, Seoul, Republic of Korea."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bo-Kyung","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Korea Food and Drug Administration, Seoul, Republic of Korea."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyung-Won","family":"Seo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Korea Food and Drug Administration, Seoul, Republic of Korea."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seung-Hee","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Korea Food and Drug Administration, Seoul, Republic of Korea."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Young-Lim","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Korea Food and Drug Administration, Seoul, Republic of Korea."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyoung-Min","family":"Baek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Korea Food and Drug Administration, Seoul, Republic of Korea."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyungwon","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dong-Kwon","family":"Rhee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Pharmacy, Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon, Republic of Korea."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,9]]},"container-title":["Microbial Drug Resistance"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1089\/mdr.2007.709","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1089\/mdr.2007.709","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,1]],"date-time":"2026-05-01T20:23:59Z","timestamp":1777667039000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full\/10.1089\/mdr.2007.709"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2007,9]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2007,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1089\/mdr.2007.709"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1089\/mdr.2007.709","relation":{},"ISSN":["1076-6294","1931-8448"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1076-6294","type":"print"},{"value":"1931-8448","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2007,9]]}}}
