BACKGROUND We sought to characterize the clinical and molecular epidemiologic characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus colonization (especially extranasal colonization) and to determine the extent to which community-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) has emerged in community nursing homes. METHODS The study enrolled a total of 213 residents, with or without an indwelling device...

Milk and its products can be frequently contaminated with enterotoxigenic methicillin-resistant S. aureus, in such a case, it causes various diseases, especially staphylococcal food poisoning. In the present study, 100 sample materials (50 goat milk, 25 cream, cheese) were collected from 65 livestock farms Erzurum. All samples analyzed tested selectively according to EN ISO 6888-1 procedure sta...

STUDY OBJECTIVE We sought to determine the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among emergency department (ED) patients with skin and soft tissue infections, identify demographic and clinical variables associated with MRSA, and characterize MRSA by antimicrobial susceptibility and genotype. METHODS This was a prospective observational study involving a convenience...

conclusions community acquired (ca)-mrsa is becoming a public health concern in many parts of the world, including asian countries. the variable prevalence of luk-pv-positive mrsa isolates in different regions and their rather high frequency in pneumonia necessitate the application of rapid diagnostic methods such as real-time pcr to improve treatment effectiveness. materials and methods in tot...

BACKGROUND In Latin America, few studies have been carried out on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus carriage in the pediatric population. We conducted a survey of nasal S. aureus carriage in neonates and in children attending the pediatric outpatient clinics in a large Brazilian city with high antimicrobial consumption. METHODS Pernasal swabs of neonates were collected upon admissio...
