MRSA: the transmission paradigm investigated
Methods A prospective 1 year study was conducted within the ICU of two UK hospitals. Conventional sampling techniques were used to recover MRSA from the air and from high contact sites located within the ward environment. All patients were screened for MRSA on admission and weekly during their stays. Samples from other sites were cultured when clinically indicated. MRSA was considered nosocomia...
متن کاملMRSA Transmission between Cows and Humans
We isolated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from cows with subclinical mastitis and from a person who worked with these animals. The bovine and human strains were indistinguishable by phenotyping and genotyping methods and were of a low frequency spa type. To our knowledge, this finding indicates the first documented case of direct transmission of MRSA between cows and humans.
متن کاملIntertwined arbovirus transmission activity: reassessing the transmission cycle paradigm
Arboviruses are emerging/reemerging infectious agents worldwide. The factors within this scenario include vector and host population fluctuations, climatic changes, anthropogenic activities that disturb ecosystems, an increase in international flights, human mobility, and genetic mutations that allow spill-over phenomenon. Arboviruses are maintained by biologic transmission among vectors and ho...
متن کاملMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus transmission: unrecognised patient MRSA carriage.
INTRODUCTION Even though methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a common cause of nosocomial infections, it may often be difficult to evaluate the exact route of transmission. METHODS In this study, we describe four cases of nosocomial transmission of MRSA in a hospital with a low MRSA incidence. RESULTS In one case, a multi-traumatic patient arrived from a hospital in a fore...
متن کاملEvolution of MRSA during hospital transmission and intercontinental spread.
Current methods for differentiating isolates of predominant lineages of pathogenic bacteria often do not provide sufficient resolution to define precise relationships. Here, we describe a high-throughput genomics approach that provides a high-resolution view of the epidemiology and microevolution of a dominant strain of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This approach reveals t...
