Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in animals: a review.
The objectives of this paper are to review published data on the prevalence and epidemiology of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection and colonization in animals and to provide suggestions for preventing and controlling the problem in veterinary practice. MRSA first emerged as a serious pathogen in human medicine during the late 1970s and has been increasingly reported in ...
متن کاملSecrets of success of a human pathogen: molecular evolution of pandemic clones of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
The first European isolate of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was detected in 1960. Since then MRSA has become a leading cause of nosocomial infections worldwide. Using molecular typing techniques--primarily pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE)--we identified five major MRSA clones that accounted for almost 70% of the over 3000 MRSA isolates recovered in hospitals mainly in...
متن کاملMolecular Characteristics of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Isolated from Diabetic Foot Infection
Background & Objective: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), is one of the most frequent causes for hospitalizations in patients with diabetes. A major problem in the treatment of DFU is the increased-incidence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The aim of this study was to determine the SCCmec types of MRSA isolates and their epidemiology among pati...
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 کاملHealthcare-associated outbreak of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia: role of a cryptic variant of an epidemic clone☆
BACKGROUND New strains of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) may be associated with changes in rates of disease or clinical presentation. Conventional typing techniques may not detect new clonal variants that underlie changes in epidemiology or clinical phenotype. AIM To investigate the role of clonal variants of MRSA in an outbreak of MRSA bacteraemia at a hospital in England....
