Abstract

High rates of CA-MRSA in skin and soft-tissue infections, combined with poor living conditions and poor access to potable water, may account for most of these cases of CA-MRSA bacteremia. Social determinants of health are relevant when common resistant bacterial isolates become associated with life-threatening illness.
