Sir,

Studies on the molecular epidemiological characteristics of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have demonstrated their genetic and geographic diversity in comparisons between the community-associated (CA) and hospital-associated (HA) strains. In addition, it has been suggested that the CA-MRSA found in Korea is genetically different from those found in other regions of the world.1–3 Recently, Kim et al.1 reported a nationwide survey of CA-MRSA in Korea. We also published an article on the same subject in Korea.2 Both studies confirmed the unique features of the Korean MRSA strains.
