<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title> <jats:p> The number of infections attributable to community-associated methicillin-resistant <jats:italic>Staphylococcus aureus</jats:italic> (CA-MRSA) in Singapore is progressively increasing. Most cases in the past 2 years were caused by Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive isolates belonging to sequence type 30, according to multilocus sequence typing. This has clearly become the predominant sequence type among CA-MRSA isolates in Singapore. </jats:p>
