摘要: Infections with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are increasingly community acquired. We investigated an outbreak in which a food handler, specimen, and three ill patrons were culture positive for the same toxin-producing strain of MRSA. This is first report gastrointestinal illness caused by community-acquired
