background: methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) is a common major human pathogen that causes hospital-acquired infections. characterization and typing of the staphylococcal cassette chromosome has led to a better understanding of mrsa infection cycle in hospital. the meca-associated hypervariable region size classifies mrsa isolates that colonized in nasal carriers. objectives: t...

Objectives: Infectious central venous catheter (CVC) complications, including mortality and care hospitalization costs, are still a major clinical concern. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of hemodialysis infection its risk factors among patients. Methods: The present research was descriptive, prospective cross-sectional on patients in Babol hospitals during 2020 - 21. participants'...

Neuraxial block-associated infection is a rare complication, this could be due to better aseptic technique and possibility of unreported events. There are four mechanisms by which microorganisms enter the body during insertion an epidural catheter, include inoculation on skin surface, pathways along contamination local anesthetic drugs, hematogenous spread. The aim study find out incidence infe...

b a ckground: s taphylococcus aureus (s. aureus) has remained always an important pathogen of common infections acquired in community and as  well as serious nosocomial infections. with advent of penicillins and cephalosporins, infections could be effectively treated, but with the global emergence of methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus strains (mrsa) physicians were  again left  with li...

Objective: Intravascular catheter-associated infection has been increasing hospitalization in post-surgery patients mainly due to microbial colonization of the catheter surface and formation of a superficial biofilm layer. The present study is aimed in developing an effective antibacterial device which can prevent colonization of organisms by modification of catheter. Methods: In the present st...

Objective: To analyze the risk factors of catheter-related bloodstream infection in outpatients and propose feasible prevention control measures. Methods: The medical records with peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected for retrospective analysis, that may be related occurrence analyzed by logistic multivariate analysis. Results: incidence ...

Introduction: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is among the common bacterial infections worldwide and approximately 80% are associated with a urinary catheter. Catheter-associated UTI (CAUTI) has been increased mortality, morbidity, length of hospital stay best way CAUTI prevention to adhere recommended guidelines on control in use catheter.
 Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was co...
