A genome-wide association study of variants associated with acquisition of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia in a healthcare setting
BACKGROUND Humans vary in their susceptibility to acquiring Staphylococcus aureus infection, and research suggests that there is a genetic basis for this variability. Several recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified variants that may affect susceptibility to infectious diseases, demonstrating the potential value of GWAS in this arena. METHODS We conducted a GWAS to identi...

متن کاملIncidence, prevalence, and management of MRSA bacteremia across patient populations—a review of recent developments in MRSA management and treatment
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is still a major global healthcare problem. Of concern is S. aureus bacteremia, which exhibits high rates of morbidity and mortality and can cause metastatic or complicated infections such as infective endocarditis or sepsis. MRSA is responsible for most global S. aureus bacteremia cases, and compared with methicillin-sensitive S. aur...
متن کاملFrequency of Nasal Carriage of Staphylococcus aureus and Associated Risk Factors and Its Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern Among Healthcare Workers in Pastor and Aflatoonian Hospitals in Bam, Southeast Iran, in 2017: A Cross-Sectional Study
Background and Objectives: Colonization of Staphylococcus aureus in the nose of healthcare workers (HCWs) can be considered as the main source of nosocomial infections. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of S. aureus nasal carriage among HCWs in Pastor and Aflatoonian hospitals in Bam, its antibiotic resistance patterns, and determine Staphylococcal protein A (spa) typing an...
