Practical management: community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA): the latest sports epidemic.
Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) has gained international recognition as a superbug that causes serious infectious outbreaks in high-risk populations such as athletes. Clusters of cases in various athletic teams, particularly contact sports, have been reported since 1993 in the United States and more recently in Canada. CA-MRSA infections are not limite...
متن کاملCommunity-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA- MRSA): molecular background, virulence, and relevance for public health
Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) are frequently found in nosocomial environments as the main pathogen in several infections. In 1961, reports of nosocomial S. aureus resistant to methicillin, the drug of choice against penicillin-resistant strains, required new alternatives and vancomycin started being used to treat infections caused by methicillin-resistant S....
متن کاملAre community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains replacing traditional nosocomial MRSA strains?
BACKGROUND Recent studies have suggested that community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is encroaching on health care settings. We describe the epidemiology of hospital-onset community-associated MRSA bloodstream infections using phenotypic and genotypic analysis. METHODS Using an update of an established rule derived from antibiotic susceptibilities, w...
متن کاملSurvival of epidemic strains of healthcare (HA-MRSA) and community-associated (CA-MRSA) meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in river-, sea- and swimming pool water.
The aim of this study was to examine the survival dynamics of several epidemic healthcare (HA) and community-associated (CA) meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in river, sea and swimming pool waters. Six different phage-types of HA-MRSA (Irish 1, Irish 2, EMRSA 15, EMRSA 16, distinct type and non-typable), as well as a community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA), were examined in this st...
