An outbreak of community-acquired foodborne illness caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Timothy F Jones et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2002 Jan.
Abstract
Infections with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are increasingly community acquired. We investigated an outbreak in which a food handler, food specimen, and three ill patrons were culture positive for the same toxin-producing strain of MRSA. This is the first report of an outbreak of gastrointestinal illness caused by community-acquired MRSA.
