977Impact of Decolonization on Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Transmission in Hospitalized Neonates
Background. MRSA is a leading cause of healthcare associated infections. Decolonizing hospitalized patients may eliminate a bacterial reservoir to reduce MRSA transmission and prevent infections. Our objective was to measure the association of colonization pressure with transmission in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and to determine whether decolonization decreases MRSA transmission. M...
متن کاملDecolonization of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus: Role in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Purpose: We aimed to assess the incidence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization and infection in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) by using various decolonization methods and to evaluate their efficacy. Methods: Medical records of all neonates who were admitted to the NICU of Seoul National University Children's Hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Surveillan...
متن کاملMupirocin resistance among MRSA surveillance isolates from neonatal intensive care unit under 10 year-search and destroy policy compared to
Introduction / objectives One of major threatening of search and destroy of MRSA is rising mupirocin resistance. In a 2,200-bed tertiary care hospital, only 38-bed neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) was under active surveillance and decolonization of MRSA colonizers for last 10 years. Mupirocin resistances of MRSA surveillance isolates from NICU and clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus f...

OBJECTIVE To curtail the prevalence and cross-transmission of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in a rural healthcare setting. DESIGN Before-after, quasi-experimental quality improvement study. SETTING A regional-referral hospital, 5 affiliated nursing homes, and an outpatient MRSA clinic. INTERVENTIONS Residents of the 5 nursing homes were screened for MRSA at baseline a...
متن کاملEstimating the Effectiveness of Isolation and Decolonization Measures in Reducing Transmission of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Hospital General Wards
Infection control for hospital pathogens such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) often takes the form of a package of interventions, including the use of patient isolation and decolonization treatment. Such interventions, though widely used, have generated controversy because of their significant resource implications and the lack of robust evidence with regard to their effec...
