This organism is distinct from healthcare-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA) in terms of epidemiology, microbiology and clinical manifestation and as such has been defined as community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA). Given that S. aureus is a major ...

متن کاملPrevalence of Nasal Colonization of CA-MRSA in Healthy Individuals and Its Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern
Background and purpose: Staphylococcus aureus, as a human pathogen, can produce a wide range of infections and its treatment has become a challenge due to increased resistance to antibiotics. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of methicillin-resistant (CA-MRSA) type and its antimicrobial susceptibility. Materials and methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was done i...
