TL;DR
A retrospective review of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates from the Naval Medical Center, San Diego, for the years 1994 through 1997 found that the annual number of community-acquired MRSA isolates increased during the period.
Abstract
A retrospective review of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates from the Naval Medical Center, San Diego, for the years 1994 through 1997, found that the annual number of community-acquired MRSA isolates increased during the period. These outpatient isolates were more likely than inpatient isolates to be sensitive to a greater number of antibiotics.

Glycopeptides, until now the only uniformly reliable therapeutic modality, have been increasingly used for therapy of staphylococcal infections, and the recent recognition of clinical isolates with reduced susceptibility to glycopeptide is of concern.

Nine secondary cases of tuberculosis and 59 tuberculin skin test conversions occurred after exposure to a hospitalized patient with a large tuberculous abscess of the hip and thigh, and a high concentration of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the abscessed tissue appears to have contributed to the high risk of tuberculosis transmission.
