Household transmission of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and other staphylococci.
Although the role of pets in household transmission of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been examined previously, only minor attention has been given to the role of the abiotic household environment independent of, or in combination with, colonisation of pets and human beings to maintain transmission cycles of MRSA within the household. This report reviews published work ab...
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...
متن کاملPrevalence of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
In the Netherlands, meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is detected on pork and veal farms, and hence farmers working with MRSA-positive animals are at an increased risk of being colonised. Recently retail meat products have been found positive for MRSA. Therefore, we tested the prevalence of MRSA among employees who work in the cold meat processing industry and in institutional k...
متن کاملCommunity-associated meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is endemic in hospitals worldwide, and causes substantial morbidity and mortality. Health-care-associated MRSA infections arise in individuals with predisposing risk factors, such as surgery or presence of an indwelling medical device. By contrast, many community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) infections arise in otherwise healthy individuals who do ...
متن کاملMeticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a harbour seal (Phoca vitulina).
METICILLIN-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important zoonosis that has increased in prevalence over the past decade, with up to 2 per cent of human beings acting as carriers, posing a risk to incontact animals (Tattevin and others 2009, Loeffler and Lloyd 2010, Couto and others 2011). Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis has been used to separate MRSA strains into community-associated ...
