The designation of USA300 refers to the SmaI restriction fragment pattern of the strain resolved by pulsed field gel electrophoresis. The significance of USA300 is that it is currently highly prevalent as a cause of skin and soft tissue infection, necrotizing pneumonia, and sepsis in individuals with little or no risk factors for healthcare- associated MRSA infection.
