P>USA300 is an epidemic community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (C-MRSA) clone in the USA, whereas the European C-MRSA clone ST80-IV has mainly a sporadic diffusion in Europe. The prevalence of European clone ST80-IV in Algeria is poorly documented. We prospectively studied S. aureus infections at Mustapha Bacha hospital in Algiers over a 20-month period. S. aureus nasal colonization was studied during a further 6-month period. The European clone ST80-IV was responsible for more than one-third of both community infections (35.7%) and hospital infections (35.8%). Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-positive MRSA isolated from hospital inpatients were resistant to multiple antibiotics, including fluoroquinolones in 44.9% of cases. The PVL-positive MRSA nasal carriage rate was high among patients and staff in the dermatology unit (8.7% and 18.5%, respectively), but low (2.7%) among patients attending the outpatient clinic. The European PVL-positive C-MRSA clone ST80-IV is widespread in the Algiers hospital and community settings.
