Comparison of strategies to reduce meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus rates in surgical patients: a controlled multicentre intervention trial
OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of two strategies (enhanced hand hygiene vs meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) screening and decolonisation) alone and in combination on MRSA rates in surgical wards. DESIGN Prospective, controlled, interventional cohort study, with 6-month baseline, 12-month intervention and 6-month washout phases. SETTING 33 surgical wards of 10 hospitals in ...
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 کاملIncidence of invasive meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections in Germany, 2010 to 2014.
Voluntary surveillance systems in Germany suggest a recent decline in the incidence of infections (subsequent to at least 2010) with meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from various types of specimens and settings. We asked whether this decline is reflected by data from the mandatory national surveillance system for invasive MRSA infections. Our analysis is based on the population...
متن کاملMortality in patients with meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia, England 2004-2005.
A population-based study was undertaken to determine the short term risk of death in English patients diagnosed with meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteraemia. All patients with an MRSA-positive blood culture taken in 2004 and 2005 in England identified through routine surveillance were matched to the national registry of deaths. The study found an overall case fatality (all...
