title: First case of intrafamily transmission of a new MRSA clone with toxic shock syndrome toxin-1.
abstract: We report the first case of intrafamily transmission of a C-MRSA clone harbouring toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1). Because of the risk of this clone to spread in the community, family members of these patients should be screened to detect and prevent the diffusion of recurrent or new infections.
