ObjectivesTo characterizeStaphylococcus aureusisolates recovered from hospitalized children and to determine the concordance between colonizing and invasive isolates.Study designChildren with culture-confirmed, community-onset, invasiveS aureusinfections were enrolled in this prospective case series from a large children's hospital over a 5-year period. Colonization isolates were obtained from the anterior nares, oropharynx, and inguinal folds and were compared with invasive isolates via repetitive-element, sequence-based polymerase chain reaction testing. Isolates with a ≥96% genetic match were characterized as concordant.ResultsA total of 86S aureusisolates (44 invasive, 42 colonization) were collected from 44 children with invasive infections. Clinical isolates were genetically diverse, 64% of invasive isolates were methicillin-susceptibleS aureus(MSSA), and 59% of cases had a colonizingS aureusisolate at the time of hospitalization. Of those who were colonized, at least 1 of their colonization isolates was indistinguishable from the infecting isolate in 88% of cases. Patients with invasive MSSA were significantly more likely to have a concordant MSSA colonization isolate present compared with patients with invasive methicillin-resistantS aureus(MRSA) (61% vs 38%,P< .05).ConclusionsInvasive MSSA infection was more common than MRSA infection in this pediatric cohort, and patients with MSSA infection were significantly more likely than those with MRSA infection to have concordant colonizing isolates across multiple anatomic sites. These findings warrant larger scale validation and may have important infection control and epidemiologic implications, as unlike MRSA, transmissibility of MSSA largely is ignored in healthcare settings.
