Staphylococcus aureus osteoarticular infections in children: an 8-year review of molecular microbiology, antibiotic resistance and clinical characteristics.

CONCLUSIONS: In our study a considerable number of S. aureus osteoarticular infections were due to CA-MRSA isolates, most of which belonged to the ST80 clone and had a higher incidence of specific virulence factors, entailing higher ICU admission rates and a longer duration of hospitalization.
