Identification of Virulence Genes in Staphylococcus aureus Isolates Segregated from Children’s Wounds
Background: Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogenic bacterium that can provide invasive conditions by secreting various toxins. It is involved in the development of skin infections, such as swollen and ulcers. Today, one of the main problems is the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus resistant strains. The aim of the current study was to detect virulence factors and antibiotic re...
متن کاملAntimicrobial resistance prevalence rates in hospital antibiograms reflect prevalence rates among pathogens associated with hospital-acquired infections.
To determine whether routine antibiograms (summaries reporting resistance of all tested isolates) reflect resistance rates among pathogens associated with hospital-acquired infections, we compared data collected from 2 different surveillance components in the same 166 intensive care units (ICUs). ICUs reported data during the same months to both the infection-based surveillance and the laborato...
متن کاملPediatric antimicrobial susceptibility trends across the United States.
OBJECTIVE Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns across US pediatric healthcare institutions are unknown. A national pooled pediatric antibiogram (1) identifies nationwide trends in antimicrobial resistance, (2) allows across-hospital benchmarking, and (3) provides guidance for empirical antimicrobial regimens for institutions unable to generate pediatric antibiograms. METHODS In January 2012,...
متن کاملNasal 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...
