چکیده

Results 31 strains of Staphylococcus sp were identified in some hospital-acquired-infections. 46.7% of Staphylococcus aureus were methicilin resistant. Bloodstream infection (BSI) was the most prevalent site of infection of MRSA (40%) as well as for methicilin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) (62.5%). Symptoms of infection had began as early as 8.5 days and as late as 11 days (average time) from the admission date in methicilin-sensitive and methicilinresistant Staphylococcus aureus cases respectively. The previous antibiotic therapy was more usual in MRSA cases (80%) than in MSSA (0%). The average weight of newborn infant was heavier in MSSA (2.222g) than MRSA (1626g). The frequency of death was higher in MRSA than MSSA (40% and 12,5% respectivelly). The average duration of stay was slightly longer in MRSA (24 days) than in MSSA (22.8 days).

Nasal Colonization Rate of Community and Hospital Acquired Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus in Hospitalized Children

Background & Aims: Prevalence of community and hospital acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is increasing. The primary reservoir is the anterior nares; and nasal carriage is a risk factor for infection in a variety of populations. Infection due to hospital-acquired colonization is different from community acquired in clinical manifestations and antibiotics susc...

Use of MRSA surveillance data for infection control: individual units rather than entire hospital as the basis for improvement

Results In the baseline year the mean MRSA incidence density of hospital acquired MRSA cases was 0.25 and the mean incidence density of ICU-acquired MRSA was 1.25 per 1000 patient days. No decrease in hospital-acquired MRSA rates was found in a total of 111 hospitals with continuous participation in the hospitalbased system. However, in 159 ICUs with continuous participation in the unit-based s...

Community-associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strains in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit1

Virulent community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus-aureus (CA-MRSA) strains have spread rapidly in the United States. To characterize the degree to which CA-MRSA strains are imported into and transmitted in pediatric intensive care units (PICU), we performed a retrospective study of children admitted to The Johns Hopkins Hospital PICU, March 1, 2007-May 31, 2008. We found that 7...
