Student self-screening for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) nasal colonization in hand hygiene education.
OBJECTIVE To determine the feasibility and effectiveness of adding a hand hygiene exercise in self-screening for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) nasal colonization to a health care delivery course for first-year pharmacy (P1) students. DESIGN About one month after students were trained in hand hygiene technique and indications, faculty members demonstrated how to self-scree...
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...

*Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract The aim of the study was to screening for coagulase positive methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in healthcare workers and prevalence of nasal colonization with Staphylococcus aureus. We included 84 healthcare workers’ samples (nasal swabs) in the study. Different biochemical tests were done to isolate Staphylococcus aureus...
متن کاملPerformance of the BD GeneOhm methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) PCR assay for detecting MRSA nasal colonization in Taiwanese adults.
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE A rapid diagnostic method for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been implemented for surveillance of the at-risk population, but its performance in those without traditional risk factors is not clear. The objective of this study was to evaluate MRSA colonization status by comparing the performance of the BD GeneOhm MRSA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) ass...
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...
