Modelling the transmission dynamics of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Beijing Tongren hospital.
Semi-professional volunteers work in many tertiary care hospitals in China as healthcare assistants. Proper infection control measures are needed to reduce nosocomial transmission involving volunteers. A compartmental model was constructed to describe the transmission characteristics of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in the emergency ward (EW) and respiratory intensive care u...
متن کاملHousehold 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 کاملMeticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus epidemiology and transmission in a Dutch hospital.
The application of the search and destroy (S&D) policy in Scandinavian and Dutch hospitals is associated with low rates of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The objective of our study was to describe the MRSA epidemiology and transmission in a Dutch hospital. This descriptive study was performed in a teaching hospital with approximately 40,000 admissions per year. In this hospi...
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 ...
