Topical Mupirocin for Eradication of MRSA Colonization With Mupirocin-Resistant Strains

Mupirocin-resistant, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains in Canadian hospitals.

Mupirocin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus is increasingly being reported in many parts of the world. This study describes the epidemiology and laboratory characterization of mupirocin-resistant methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains in Canadian hospitals. Broth microdilution susceptibility testing of 4,980 MRSA isolates obtained between 1995 and 2004 from 32 Canadian hospitals was d...

Perianal streptococcal cellulitis: treatment with topical mupirocin.

Dr. Antonio Ledo, Castellana 167, E-28046 Madrid (Spain) In 1966 Amren et al. [1] reported 10 cases of perianal erythema caused by group A ß-hemolytic streptococci. Usually it is observed in prepuberal males and is characterized by well-demarcated perianal erythema without satellite lesions. Occasionally patients have fissures, painful defecation with secondary constipation and rectal bleeding....

Mupirocin resistance: clinical implications and potential alternatives for the eradication of MRSA.

Mupirocin 2% ointment is used either alone or with skin antiseptics as part of a comprehensive MRSA decolonization strategy. Increased mupirocin use predisposes to mupirocin resistance, which is significantly associated with persistent MRSA carriage. Mupirocin resistance as high as 81% has been reported. There is a strong association between previous mupirocin exposure and both low-level and hi...
