ommunity-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-(CA-MRSA) strains have emerged in Argentina. We investigated the clinical and molecular evolution of community-onset MRSA infections (CO-MRSA) in children of Córdoba, Argentina, 2005?2008. Additionally, data from 2007 were compared with the epidemiology of these infections in other regions of the country.
