Underreporting of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriage by surgeons in the operating room planning software

چکیده
Results 11’701 interventions were analyzed. We identified 584 (5%) interventions in known MRSA carriers. Only 318/584 (54.5%) MRSA carriers were notified as such by the surgeon in charge in the OR planning software. This reporting rate varied from 23% to 72% depending on the surgical specialties. It increased significantly with the mean weekly prevalence of MRSA carriers on each specialty ward in a weighted regression model (regression coefficient: 2.9, p=0.046).

Objective(s) Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important cause of nosocomial and community infections. Biofilm formation, mediated by a polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA) and encoded by the ica operon, is considered to be an important virulence factor in both S. epidermidis and S. aureus. However, the clinical impact of the ica locus and PIA production is less w...
