<jats:title>Background</jats:title>
<jats:p>The emergence of community-associated methicillin-resistant <jats:italic>Staphylococcus aureus</jats:italic> (CA-MRSA) has increased the incidence of community-onset MRSA infection. Respiratory tract infections caused by MRSA has been noted for their severity; however, repeated relapses that require extended antibiotic therapy are rare.</jats:p>

<jats:title>Case presentation</jats:title>
<jats:p>We report a case of relapsing bronchopneumonia caused by CA-MRSA in a 56-year-old man. The patient responded to antibiotics, but repeatedly relapsed after stopping treatment. MRSA was consistently isolated from airway specimens during each relapse. Extended oral antibiotic treatment with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX) for 6 months achieved infection control. Whole-genome sequencing of the isolated strain revealed that the causative agent was sequence type (ST)1/staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCC<jats:italic>mec</jats:italic>) type IVa, a clone that is rapidly increasing in Japan.</jats:p>

<jats:title>Discussion and conclusions</jats:title>
<jats:p>This patient had an unusual course of MRSA bronchopneumonia with repeated relapses. Although the choice of antibiotics for long-term use in MRSA respiratory tract infections has not been well established, TMP/SMX was effective and well tolerated for long-term therapy in this case. The clinical course of infections related to the rapid emerging clone, ST1/SCC<jats:italic>mec</jats:italic> type IVa warrants further attention.</jats:p>
