摘要：

Heterosexual transmission of community- associated methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus has not been documented. As part of a survey conducted in northern Manhattan, we encountered 3 households in which heterosexual transmission was responsible for new community- associated methicillin- resistant S. aureus infection. The vaginal and inguinal isolates obtained from the sexual partners were USA 300. This report documents an important and previously unrecognized means of community- associated methicillinresistant S. aureus colonization and transmission for these potentially invasive strains.
