Modelling the Costs and Effects of Selective and Universal Hospital Admission Screening for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
BACKGROUND Screening at hospital admission for carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been proposed as a strategy to reduce nosocomial infections. The objective of this study was to determine the long-term costs and health benefits of selective and universal screening for MRSA at hospital admission, using both PCR-based and chromogenic media-based tests in various se...

متن کاملSemi-selective broth improves screening for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate two enrichment broths for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) detection and compare results with direct plating. METHODS Swabs from 1224 patients were re-analysed for MRSA in a central laboratory (Münster) using six methods. Swabs were suspended in 0.5 mL of non-selective enrichment broth (NB) and vortexed. Aliquots of 100 microL were inoculated on/into: ...
متن کاملScreening for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
To ensure that all relevant patients are screened for the presence of Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in their nose (and their skin in some circumstances) prior to or on admission, and are given suppressive (decolonisation) treatment where necessary. The aim is to reduce the risk of a patient developing an MRSA infection, or passing MRSA on to others. This guidance is not inte...
