Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections.
Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is epidemic in the community, differs from nosocomial MRSA in virulence, mechanisms, and antibiotic susceptibility, and exhibits diverse and often unique pathologic characteristics. The community-acquired MRSA USA 300 strains are transmitted largely by person-to-person contact and cause characteristic soft-tissue ab...
متن کاملCiprofloxacin for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections.
Thirty-seven patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections and/or colonization were treated with oral ciprofloxacin (750 mg twice a day). Clinical cure or improvement of infections occurred in 91% of the patients, and bacteriologic cure occurred in 60%. Ciprofloxacin therapy suppressed methicillin-resistant S. aureus colonization in 55% of the patients. Ciprofloxacin-resi...
متن کاملOutbreak of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infections
An outbreak of nosocomial infections was caused by a single strain of methicillin-resistant (MR) Staphylococcus aureus. This strain was followed as it was transmitted from the index case to 17 patients, 3 hospital personnel, and 12 items in the hospital environment. The MR S. aureus strain was traced by using four specific epidemiological markers: antibiogram, phage type, production of aminogly...
متن کاملCommunity-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections.
Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) has been recognized for over a decade, and usually refers to MRSA identified in previously healthy individuals with no recognized MRSA risk factors. Infections range from minor skin and soft tissue infections, through to severe pneumonia and necrotizing fasciitis. This review summarizes the current data on the epidemiolo...
متن کاملSimilar Clinical Severity and Outcomes for Methicillin-Resistant and Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Pediatric Musculoskeletal Infections
BACKGROUND Prior studies of pediatric musculoskeletal infection have suggested that methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections result in worse outcomes compared with infections with methicillin-susceptible S aureus (MSSA) strains. Based on these results, clinical prediction algorithms have been developed to differentiate between MRSA and MSSA early in a patient's clinical cou...
