Prevention of MRSA spread in the neurosurgical field

Infection control was examined for 8 examples in which MRSA (Methycilin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aurous) from squint was detected in a neurosurgical ward. The stamp method was utilized for this MRSA infection research and analysis. Samples were gathered from a ward, patient environment and medical stafL uniforms. After those samples were collected, they were cultivated and identified. In addition, a patient nutritional conditions were exarnined to evaluate the infection control. In order to identify the level of infection in patient environment, the PFGE genome typing was implemented for 41 MRSA stumps. The results were categorized into 5 genome types. The results suggested that a room environment and medical staff were infected by MRSA from patient squint. We were able to reconfirm that a daily infection measure and infection control need to be work out. Bull. Sch. Allied Med. Sci., Nagasaki Univ 13 1 4 1999
