Genotypic Investigation of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strains Isolated from Urinary Tract Infection
Background and purpose: Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have recently emerged as major causes of urinary tract infection (UTI). The aims of this study were to determine antibiotic susceptibility of S. aureus isolated from UTI and to detect the presence of mecA (causing resistance to methicillin) and SCCmec types. Materials and methods: In this cross sectional study, 44 S. au...

متن کاملUnusually High Incidences of Staphylococcus aureus Infection within Studies of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia Prevention Using Topical Antibiotics: Benchmarking the Evidence Base
Selective digestive decontamination (SDD, topical antibiotic regimens applied to the respiratory tract) appears effective for preventing ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. However, potential contextual effects of SDD on Staphylococcus aureus infections in the ICU remain unclear. The S. aureus ventilator associated pneumonia (S. aureus VAP), VAP overall ...
متن کاملSelective Decontamination of the Gastrointestinal Tract: A Possible Strategy to Reduce Infection in High-Risk Populations
The microbial ecology in the human digestive tract is diverse and here environmental triggers, immune signals and genetic susceptibility can affect the human host’s response to infection [1]. Selective decontamination has emerged as a potential treatment for patients at high risk of infection such as those; in the critical care environments, undergoing invasive surgical operations, or with sign...
متن کاملPrevention of MRSA pneumonia by oral vancomycin decontamination: a randomised trial.
This study was undertaken to assess whether oropharyngeal vancomycin may control oropharyngeal carriage and lower airway infection due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) acquired in the intensive care unit (ICU). Secondary endpoints were the emergence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci, vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus and vancomycin consumption. A total of 84 patients, adm...
