Decolonization of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus: Role in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Purpose: We aimed to assess the incidence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization and infection in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) by using various decolonization methods and to evaluate their efficacy. Methods: Medical records of all neonates who were admitted to the NICU of Seoul National University Children's Hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Surveillan...
متن کاملPrevalence of qacA/B Genes and Mupirocin Resistance Among Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Isolates in the Setting of Chlorhexidine Bathing Without Mupirocin.
OBJECTIVE We aimed to determine the frequency of qacA/B chlorhexidine tolerance genes and high-level mupirocin resistance among MRSA isolates before and after the introduction of a chlorhexidine (CHG) daily bathing intervention in a surgical intensive care unit (SICU). DESIGN Retrospective cohort study (2005-2012) SETTING: A large tertiary-care center PATIENTS Patients admitted to SICU who ...
متن کاملPreoperative decolonization effective at reducing staphylococcal colonization in total joint arthroplasty patients.
Staphylococcus decolonization prior to surgery is used to prevent surgical site infections (SSIs) after total joint arthroplasty (TJA). To determine if current treatment protocols result in successful decolonization of methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), 106 consecutive patients were screened for nasal MSSA/MRSA colonization pre-operatively and on ...
متن کاملEfficacy of chlorhexidine bathing for reducing healthcare associated bloodstream infections: a meta-analysis
BACKGROUND We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to determine if daily bathing with chlorhexidine decreased hospital-acquired BSIs in critically ill patients. METHODS We searched the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases to identify randomized controlled trials that compared daily bathing with chlorhexidine and a control in...
متن کاملHas decolonization played a central role in the decline in UK methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus transmission? A focus on evidence from intensive care.
The UK has seen a dramatic reduction in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection and transmission over the past few years in response to the mandatory MRSA bacteraemia surveillance scheme. Healthcare institutions have re-enforced basic infection control practice, such as universal hand hygiene, contact precautions and admission screening; however, the precipitous decline sug...
