Monitoring the spread of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in The Netherlands from a reference laboratory perspective
BACKGROUND In The Netherlands, efforts to control meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in hospitals have been largely successful due to stringent screening of patients on admission and isolation of those that fall into defined risk categories. However, Dutch hospitals are not free of MRSA, and a considerable number of cases are found that do not belong to any of the risk categories...
متن کاملThe Spread of Beta Lactam Antibiotic-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis Strains in Hospital
Bachground and objectives: Hospital surfaces can serve as reservoirs of potential pathogen bacteria. Staff hands are the most important source of transmission in hospital. The prevalence of β–lactamase producer bacteria in staff hands and hospital surfaces, increase antibiotic resistance nosocomial infection. The aim of this study was to survey the spread of beta-lactam resistance St...
متن کاملPrevalence 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 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...
