The prevalence of methicillin resistant organisms among pacemaker and defibrillator implant recipients.

Frequency of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Nasal Colonization among preschool and school children under 14 years old in Urmia

Background and Aims: Nasal Colonization with Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is known as an important risk factor in the development of dangerous infections. Materials and Methods: The present study seeks to investigate the prevalence of MRSA nasal colonization among the preschool and school children under 14 in Urmia. To do so, specimens for culture were obtained fro...

Pacemaker lead endocarditis with hiccups (Kalayci)

Background: Lead-related infections that might develop after pacemaker implantation associated with high mortality and morbidity rates are challenging to manage and pose high-cost. Patients with lead-related infections usually present with fever, chills and fatigue and the treatment can be challenging unless the implant system is extracted. Case presentation: A 66-year old male patient who und...

Comparison of the effect of training by video and group discussion on the level of stress, anxiety, depression and self-efficacy of patients undergoing pacemaker and cardiac implantation defibrillator

Status of Biofilm-Forming Genes among Jordanian Nasal Carriers of Methicillin-Sensitive and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Introduction: Biofilm formation in Staphylococcus aureus is a major virulence factor. Both methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are common causes of community- and hospital-acquired infections and are associated with biofilm formation. The status of biofilm-forming genes has not been explored in Jordanian nasal carriers of S. ...

Frequency of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus in the noses of Malaysian chicken farmers and their chicken

The prevalence of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin sensitiveStaphylococcus aureus (MSSA) carriage among poultry and poultry farmers in Malaysia is largely unknown.In the current investigation, chickens and chicken farmers from 30 chicken farms were screened for MRSAand S. aureus carriage. The genetic characteristics of the isolates were determined through multi...
