Introduction: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of both hospital-and community-acquired infections worldwide. However, data about the molecular epidemiology of MRSA in North Africa are still scarce. Methodology: All MRSA isolates recovered between January 2006 and July 2011 from one Algerian hospital were genetically and phenotypically characterized. Results: The predominance of a European community-associated-MRSA (CA-MRSA) clone (ST80-SCCmec IV-PVL positive) was revealed by this analysis. Conclusion: Our data suggest that a CA-MRSA clone recently invaded the hospital setting in Algiers and replaced a typical hospital-associated pandemic clone such as the Brazilian clone (ST239-SCCmec IIImercury-PVL negative).
