متن کاملConcurrent epidemics of skin and soft tissue infection and bloodstream infection due to community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
BACKGROUND Since its emergence in 2000, epidemic spread of the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clone USA300 has led to a high burden of skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) in the United States, yet its impact on MRSA bloodstream infections (BSIs) is poorly characterized. METHODS To assess clonality of the MRSA isolates causing SSTI and BSI during the epidemic period, a ...
متن کاملMethicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Vancomycin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA), and Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci (VRE) contamination of food samples in Iran: A systematic review and meta-analysis
During the last years, antimicrobial resistance has become one of the greatest challenges in clinical settings. Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus are important nosocomial pathogens worldwide. In different corners of the world, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) have been isolated from various sources including different foods of an...
متن کاملEffect of colonization with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus on subsequent infection.
Sir—We are indebted to Davis et al. [1] for their valuable study, which strengthens the role of active surveillance. The follow-up period of 12 months is laudable, because infections detected after a patient's discharge from the hospital could also be observed. One important and very alarming finding in the study [1] is that 2.7%–4.4% of patients in the studied population were infected with met...
متن کاملHigh prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in emergency department skin and soft tissue infections.
STUDY OBJECTIVE We sought to determine the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among emergency department (ED) patients with skin and soft tissue infections, identify demographic and clinical variables associated with MRSA, and characterize MRSA by antimicrobial susceptibility and genotype. METHODS This was a prospective observational study involving a convenience...
