ABSTRACT
In the past decade, methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have emerged in the community, causing serious infection in young and healthy persons without established risk factors for MRSA acquisition. This community acquired methicillin- resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) has been usually reported to cause the skin and soft tissue infection and necrotizing pneumonia. We have experienced a case of acute pyelonephritis caused by CA-MRSA without health care-associated risk factors. The staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) typing and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) revealed the ST5- MRSA-IV clone, which showed SCCmec type IV and MLST allelic profile of ST5 (1-4-1-4-12-1-10).
