They multiplied much faster than health-care-associated MRSA and were resistant to fewer non-beta-lactam antibiotics. They seem to have been derived from more diverse S. aureus populations than health-care-associated MRSA strains.enHumansStaphylococcus aureusStaphylococcal InfectionsCommunity-Acquired InfectionsAnti-Bacterial AgentsMicrobial Sensitivity TestsMethicillin ResistanceUnited StatesAustraliaJournal article002002030710.1128/JCM.40.11.4289-4294.20020001790532000662-s2.0-003683995360485Turnidge, J.
