(CC398) have emerged recently as important zoonotic agents worldwide (1). Livestock, especially swine, are implicated in carriage and transmission of these organisms, as are individuals who work closely with livestock. However, ST398 strains have also been found in people without livestock exposure (2, 3) and have caused infections within hospitals and health care facilities (4). Since ST398 isolates are pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) nontypeable with SmaI, belong to a wide variety of staphylococcal protein A (spa) types, and show a number of different antimicrobial resistance patterns, detection of ST398 is not a quick process. van Wamel et al. created two specific PCRs for detection of ST398 using two ST398-specific DNA sequences previously obtained from amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analyses (5). A07 and CO1 primer sets were reported to show 100% accuracy when tested against 133 isolates. Noting that the van Wamel et al. sets were targeted to a transposon, Stegger et al. developed a different PCR assay using the highly conserved sau1-hsdS1 sequence in the CC398 lineage (6). PCR validation of this target showed 100% specificity (235/235 samples) and 100% sensitivity (1,072/1,072 samples).We screened a total of 444 human colonization and 14 human infection isolates using the A07 or CO1 primer set representing the gene SAPIG2194 or SAPIG2195, respectively. All isolates were also spa typed, and a subset, including all potential false-positive and false-negative isolates, were typed by MLST. Sensitivity was 96.5% and specificity was 98.3%(Table 1). There were three false negatives that were all t571/ST398. The six false positives included two t922/ST1 isolates, one t045/ST1 isolate, one t337/ST9 isolate, one t505/ST45 isolate, and one t002/ST105 isolate (Table 2). We screened the nine false positives and false negatives from the previous assay with the sau1-hsdS1 assay. Two of the false positives were negative by this assay, while the other four were still positive. All three false negatives were positive by the sau1-hsdS1 PCR assay (Table 2).
