Place of acquisition was most commonly community acquired, 75.5% overall.
Human mycoplasmosis is associated with numerous clinical manifestations, most notably community acquired pneumonia and nongonococcal urethritis [ 3, 4].
These infections were most likely community acquired, as none could be linked to a known index case.
We believe that the patient's favorable development was due to this germ's increased sensitivity to antibiotics, most probably community acquired.
This suggests that most cases are community acquired (Ref. [24] argues that most Swedish MRSA cases are infected abroad).
However, the susceptibility pattern alone might be insufficient to guide optimal antimicrobial therapy, since most of the community acquired infections present a risk of resistance development to a first line antimicrobial drug [ 1], leading to changes in susceptibility patterns of commonly used agents over time.
It is one of the most significant bacterial pathogens causing community acquired infections, most notably pneumonia, otitis media, bacteremia, and meningitis [ 1, 2].
While the collection of MRSA did not specifically determine community versus nosocomial isolates, it could be generally expected that most outpatient isolates would be community acquired while most inpatient isolates would be nosocomial and thus we can deduce that hospital isolates are more resistant than community isolates.
The most common diagnosis was community acquired pneumonia (50 %), and second was acute on chronic cardiac failure (25%%).
Bacteria are one of the most common causes of community acquired pneumonia.
S. pneumonia infection is the most common cause of community acquired pneumonia worldwide.
