The relationship between the antibiotic consumption in hospitals and the community and the selection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

چکیده
Methods We developed a computerized model of S. aureus transmission in a hospital ward and in the community, where methicillin-sensitive (MSSA), community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) and hospital-associated MRSA (HAMRSA) strains co-circulate between these two settings. We assessed the impact of a 15-50% reduction in antibiotic use in community and hospitals, under several hypotheses regarding changes in the distribution of prescribed antibiotics.
