Detection of Mrsa Nasal Carriage in Hospital Population Using Chromagar
Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a human pathogen that is capable of causing infections of skin and soft tissue, surgical site, respiratory and urinary tract that may results into severe morbidity and mortality [1,2]. It is resistant to all β lactam and other antibiotics like aminoglycosides, tetracycline, macrolides etc [3]. The most important reservoir for its spread are ...

متن کاملfrequency distribution of hospital-acquired mrsa nasal carriage among hospitalized patients in west of iran
background hospital patients who are nasal carriers of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) are a high-risk potential threat to themselves and other hospitalized patients. the high antibiotic resistance of these isolates renders the treatment of related infections difficult. objectives the present study, for the first time investigated the prevalence of mrsa isolates in nasal carr...
متن کاملDetection of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by CHROMagar Versus Cefoxitin Disk Diffusion Method
Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been emerged as a nosocomial and community acquired pathogen worldwide. There are many challenges for laboratory detection of MRSA. The aim of this study was to compare different phenotypic methods with PCR based method as a gold standard for detection of mecA gene to detection of MRSA. A total of 220 clinical isolates of S. aureus which w...
متن کاملComparison of the BD GeneOhm methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) PCR assay to culture by use of BBL CHROMagar MRSA for detection of MRSA in nasal surveillance cultures from an at-risk community population.
We compared the BD GeneOhm methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) PCR assay to culture with BBL CHROMagar MRSA for nasal surveillance among 602 arrestees from the Baltimore City Jail. The sensitivity and specificity were 88.5% and 91.0%, respectively, and after secondary analysis using enrichment broth, they were 89.0% and 91.7%, respectively. Twenty-three of 42 false-positive PCR l...
