This article reviews recent findings on the global epidemiology of healthcare-acquired/associated (HA), community-acquired/associated (CA) and livestock-associated (LA) meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and aims to reach a consensus regarding the harmonisation of typing methods for MRSA. MRSA rates continue to increase rapidly in many regions and there is a dynamic spread of strains across the globe. HA-MRSA is currently endemic in hospitals in most regions. CA-MRSA clones have been spreading rapidly in the community and also infiltrating healthcare in many regions worldwide. To date, LA-MRSA is only prevalent in certain high-risk groups of workers in direct contact with live animals. CA-MRSA and LA-MRSA have become a challenge for countries that have so far maintained low rates of MRSA. These evolutionary changes have resulted in MRSA continuing to be a major threat to public health. Continuous efforts to understand the changing epidemiology of S. aureus infection in humans and animals are therefore necessary, not only for appropriate antimicrobial treatment and effective infection control but also to monitor the evolution of the species. The group made several consensus decisions with regard to harmonisation of typing methods. A stratified, three-level organisation of testing laboratories was proposed: local; regional; and national. The functions of, and testing methodology used by, each laboratory were defined. The group consensus was to recommend spa and staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) typing as the preferred methods. Both are informative in defining particular strain characteristics and utilise standardised nomenclatures, making them applicable globally. Effective communication between each of the different levels and between national centres was viewed as being crucial to inform and monitor the molecular epidemiology of MRSA at national and international levels.

Hello, Circle K International! My name is Tyler Kearns, and I am so excited to be serving you as your international president for the 2022-2023 year! I recently graduated from St. Lawrence University in New York with my degree in conservation biology, and I am continuing my education at Boston University. Throughout my CKI journey, I served as a lieutenant governor, club committee chair and international trustee, in addition to working on multiple committees and task forces.

This next year is one where we will be navigated a lot of challenges such as the change to our dues system, but I hold a lot of optimism when it comes to the new opportunities for growth across our organization. We have an amazing group of trustees and governors who are motivated and ready to support our members. If you ever need it, feel free to reach out, whether they be about CKI or plant care. I hope you are all as excited about this year as I am, and I hope to talk to you soon!!

Dr. Kearns was also recently recognized by the International Association for Emergency Managers as the first certified emergency manager to have held the international certification for 30 years.

Definitely. One of my classes this semester was a mandatory course on writing, and writing the Extended Essay really was a good preparation for the research project I had to undertake for this course. I already knew how and where to cite, how to format accordingly, and how to structure a paper to make the argument flow effectively.

Furthermore, due in large part to my French instruction at ISL, I was able to place into the highest level of French this semester. Because I placed so well in my French proficiency exam, I have now completed my language requirement, which normally takes six semesters.

As well, I was able to incorporate music theory that I learned in IB HL Music into my campus radio show, and my HL History knowledge provided an excellent foundation for my two international affairs classes.

I miss a lot about ISL, but mainly I miss the extra-curricular activities. For example, I miss jamming with the Jazz Band, and am eternally grateful for the TED-Ed Club for building my confidence as a public speaker.

My advice to current Seniors at ISL is that if you have an interest in a particular university or program, be sure to reach out to alumni currently there to find out about the transition from ISL to the next step!
