Prevalence of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
In the Netherlands, meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is detected on pork and veal farms, and hence farmers working with MRSA-positive animals are at an increased risk of being colonised. Recently retail meat products have been found positive for MRSA. Therefore, we tested the prevalence of MRSA among employees who work in the cold meat processing industry and in institutional k...
متن کاملCommunity-associated meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is endemic in hospitals worldwide, and causes substantial morbidity and mortality. Health-care-associated MRSA infections arise in individuals with predisposing risk factors, such as surgery or presence of an indwelling medical device. By contrast, many community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) infections arise in otherwise healthy individuals who do ...
متن کاملMeticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus epidemiology and transmission in a Dutch hospital.
The application of the search and destroy (S&D) policy in Scandinavian and Dutch hospitals is associated with low rates of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The objective of our study was to describe the MRSA epidemiology and transmission in a Dutch hospital. This descriptive study was performed in a teaching hospital with approximately 40,000 admissions per year. In this hospi...
متن کاملPrevalence and molecular epidemiology of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in nursing home residents in northern Germany.
Nursing home residents are a population at risk for carrying meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). To better guide infection control and healthcare network initiatives, we investigated the point prevalence and molecular epidemiology of MRSA colonisation among nursing home residents in Brunswick, northern Germany. Among the 32 participating nursing homes of the available 34 in the r...
متن کاملThe Genes and Mutations of Meticillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
The purpose of this project is to study the evolution of the bacteria, meticillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). We will study and evaluate a few of the genes and mutations of MRSA that enable it to be resistant to many antibiotics and antimicrobial agents. Visual and image processing will be used to create data charts, graphs and plots to better conceive the results of the research. I...
