A Case Report of Methicillin-Resistant Staph. aureus Coinfection in COVID-19 in the Intensive Care Unit

چکیده

Bacterial co-infections in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia are not very common as the prevalence of other viruses. The rate bacterial co-infection hospitalized infected influenza is higher than 30%, whereas it lower 4% SARS-CoV-2. Respiratory viral infections associated have mortality and morbidity rates. literature shows that most SARS-CoV-2 admitted to hospital do necessarily screen for antimicrobial susceptibility. Therefore, clinicians' misdiagnosis these can pose a significant risk lives vulnerable COVID-19. In light, we presented complicated case methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in the intensive care unit.

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major nosocomial pathogen that causes severe morbidity and mortality worldwide. MRSA strains are endemic in many American and European hospitals and account for 29%-35% of all clinical isolates. Recent studies have documented the increased costs associated with MRSA infection, as well as the importance of colonisation pressure. Surveillanc...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

A neonatal intensive care unit outbreak was caused by a strain of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus previously found in the community (ST45-MRSA-IV). Fifteen infected neonates were identified, 2 of whom died. This outbreak illustrates how a rare community pathogen can rapidly spread through nosocomial transmission.

Methicillin-sensitive Staph. aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant Staph. aureus (MRSA) bacteraemia decline simulaneously

Methods From April 2008 to March 2010, at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust (ICHNT), electronic microbiological records of patients with SAB were linked with patient administration data to determine if the S. aureus was meticillin-sensitive or resistant, and if infection was CA or HA. SAB within 2 days of admission was defined as CA, 2 days or more after admission as HA and a new episode if...

Transmission Dynamics of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a Medical Intensive Care Unit in India

BACKGROUND Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a global pathogen and an important but seldom investigated cause of morbidity and mortality in lower and middle-income countries where it can place a major burden on limited resources. Quantifying nosocomial transmission in resource-poor settings is difficult because molecular typing methods are prohibitively expensive. Mechanisti...
