侵袭性耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌感染在家庭内的爆发是不寻常的。我们调查了2个侵袭性耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌感染的家庭聚集性，其中1个是一名年轻母亲死于暴发性肺炎。虽然目前不建议通过对侵袭性耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌感染患者的家庭接触者进行培养来进行监测，但此类聚集性感染应刺激对预防措施的重新评估。
Outbreaks of invasive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection within families are unusual. We investigated 2 family clusters of invasive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection, including 1 in which a young mother died of fulminant pneumonia. Although surveillance via culture of family contacts of patients with invasive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection is not currently recommended, such clusters should stimulate reevaluation of preventive measures.
