Abstract:

Abstract Background and Objectives associated infections has been gained attention by most researchers. We designed this cross-sectional study to evaluate MRSA and VRSA frequency in the Shohadai Ashayer hospital of Khorram Abad, Iran. : Increased drug resistance, and its Material and Methods: moistened with normal saline from interior nares of 300 personnel and immediately cultured on a Mannitol Salt Agar.Suspected colonies were confirmed by biochemical methods. Methicillin and Vancomycin resistance of isolated strains was carried out by agar dilution according to recommendations of National Clinical Laboratory Institute. Samples were obtained by sterile swab Results: carriers of S.aureus. 16 (5.33%) and 4 (1.33%) of the carriers were Methicillin resistant S.aureus (MRSA) and Vancomycin resistant S.aureus (VRSA), respectively. One (0.33%) of the personnel was concurrently the carrier of both MRSA and VRSA.No correlation was found between carriage and factors such as sex, age, ward of hospital and length of occupation, and predisposing diseases. Kind of occupation and level of education were significantly related with carrier state.(P<0.05) Sixty-four (21.33%) of 300 studied personnel were nasal Conclusion consistent with other published reliable documents. Isolation of four VISA and one VRSA strains from studied personnel was the interesting findings of this study. Because of carrying of such resistant strains in hospital personnel and risks of transmission to patients, it needs further attention of health officials. : Percentage of S.aureus carriers in hospital personnel was Keywords: Keywords: (MRSA), Vancomycin resistant S.aureus (VRSA), Vancomycin intermediate S.aureus (VISA),Carrier, Khorram Abad, IRAN Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin resistant S.aureusStaphylococcus aureus, Methicillin resistant S.aureus

Prevalence of Vancomycin Resistance in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus

Background & Aims: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common pathogens in nosocomial infections. Vancomycin is the most important therapeutic drug of choice for treatment of infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains. Therefore, vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) or vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) strains are warning...

Frequency of nasal carriage for methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus among the hospital staff – Bandar Abbas, Iran

Introduction: Methicillin – resistant S.aureus (MRSA) hss been recognized as an important pathogen in human diseases. Screening of health care workers allowed early detection of nasal carriage of MRSA and prevention of subsequent transmission. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of nasal carriage of MRSA in Shariati hospital staff. Methods: This cross – sectional study wa...

PCR-mediated identification of Methicillin and Vancomycin resistant genes in Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from the nasal cavity

Staphylococcus aureus is colonized in the human nasal cavity and would contaminate hospital and therapeutic environments. This bacterium has a genetic diversity in terms of resistance to antimicrobial agents. Therefore, the purpose of this study was identificatied of Methicillin and Vancomycin resistant genes in Staphylococcus aureus strains which has been isolated from the nasal cavity. 189 pa...

Nasal 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...
