Transmission of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from animals to humans is of great concern due to the implications for human health and the health care system. The objective was to investigate the frequency and duration of MRSA carriage in human volunteers after a short-term exposure in a swine farm. The experimental study included 34 human volunteers staying 1 h in a MRSA-po...
Several studies have shown that patients with bacteremia caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have worse outcomes than those with bacteremia caused by methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA). However, only a limited number of studies have stratified the MRSA isolates into healthcare-associated (HA-) and community-associated (CA-) MRSA strains in such a comparison. This ...
Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a rural American Indian community.
CONTEXT Until recently, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections have been acquired primarily in nosocomial settings. Four recent deaths due to MRSA infection in previously healthy children in the Midwest suggest that serious MRSA infections can be acquired in the community in rural as well as urban locations. OBJECTIVES To document the occurrence of community-acquired MR...
BACKGROUND Outbreak reports suggest that community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections can be life-threatening. We conducted a population based cohort study to assess the magnitude of mortality associated with MRSA infections diagnosed in the community. METHODS We used the United Kingdom's General Practice Research Database (GPRD) to form a cohort of all pat...
INTRODUCTION The purpose of the study was to describe demographic and clinical characteristics and outbreak handling of a large methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) outbreak in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in Denmark June 25(th)-August 8(th) 2008, and to identify risk factors for MRSA transmission. METHODS Data were collected retrospectively from medical records and the...
BACKGROUND Control of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is difficult in select populations. We used molecular typing to study the effect of universal surveillance and decolonization of carriers, without isolation, on MRSA transmission in a specialized unit. METHODS Patients admitted to the unit were screened for nasal MRSA at admission and discharge. Those who acquired MRSA d...
Community acquired-methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) is a socially problematic pathogen that infects healthy individuals, causing severe disease. CA-MRSA is more virulent than hospital associated-MRSA (HA-MRSA). The underlying mechanism for the high virulence of CA-MRSA is not known. The transcription product of the psm-mec gene, located in the mobile genetic element SCCmec ...
BACKGROUND The relative contribution of long term care facilities (LTCFs) and hospitals in the transmission of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is unknown. METHODS Concurrent MRSA screening and spa type analysis was performed in LTCFs and their network hospitals to estimate the rate of MRSA acquisition among residents during their stay in LTCFs and hospitals, by colonization...
BACKGROUND The CA-MRSA infections have emerged in many parts of the world over the past decade. To our knowledge, the prevalence of CA-MRSA infections in Thai patients is unknown. OBJECTIVE To determine an epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infections in hospitalized patients in Siriraj Hospital and the prevalence of infections caused by community-acquired methicillin-resistant...
BACKGROUND Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a growing cause of infections among hospitalized trauma patients. We examined the incidence and infectious consequences of MRSA among trauma patients admitted to our Level I Trauma Center during 24 months. METHODS Nasal swab cultures were obtained at admission and on hospital day 5. Patient demographics and infectious complicati...
