Abstract

We determined the incidence of invasive community-onset Staphylococcus aureus infections, clinical characteristics, and antibiotic susceptibilities in 128 hospitalized children in central New York. The prevalence of invasive S aureus infections in our institution remained <1% between 1996 and 2006, although the proportion of methicillin-resistant S aureus infections significantly increased.
