Abstract

Background: Previous reports suggested that US methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain epidemiology has changed since the rise of USA300 MRSA. We describe invasive MRSA trends by strain type. Methods: Data came from 5 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Emerging Infections Program sites conducting population-based surveillance and collecting isolates for invasive MRSA (ie, from normally sterile body sites), 2005-2013. MRSA bloodstream infection (BSI) incidence per 100 000 population was stratified by strain type and epidemiologic classification of healthcare exposures. Invasive USA100 vs USA300 case characteristics from 2013 were compared through logistic regression. Results: From 2005 to 2013, USA100 incidence decreased most notably for hospital-onset (6.1 vs 0.9/100 000 persons, P
