A local CA-MRSA with ST8/SCCmecIVl (CA-MRSA/J) has emerged in Japan, being associated with progression from bullous impetigo to potentially fatal invasive infection. We found that CA-MRSA/J has unique bacterial surface structures, spikes, spikes with a cap, and long spikes, reflecting clinical origins.animationBacteriophage; Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus; Spike; Surface structure[SDGs]SDG3journal article10.1016/j.jmii.2020.09.008330600392-s2.0-85092467252https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85092467252
