Methicillin Resistant S. aureus in Human and Bovine Mastitis
Journal of Mammary Gland Biology and Neoplasia, 2011Staphylococcus aureus is a ubiquitous organism that causes a variety of diseases including mastitis in cattle and humans. High-level resistance of S. aureus to β-lactams conferred by a mecA gene encoding a modified penicillin binding protein (PBP2a) was first observed in the early 1960's. These methicillin resistant S.

The methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has a high negative predictive value (NPV). We aimed to understand if there was a difference in the NPV of the MRSA screen in surgical intensive care units (ICUs) and to determine its role in antibiotic de-escalation.We performed a single-center, retrospective cohort

Nasal methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) testing at admission to the hospital was found to have a positive likelihood ratio of 8.5 and a negative likelihood ratio of 0.41 for predicting MRSA soft tissue infections. The clinical utility of this test depends on the prevalence of MRSA infection.

Ventilator-associated pneumonia is one of the most common infections in the intensive care unit and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has emerged as a common cause of ventilator-associated pneumonia. We sought to study the performance characteristics of once weekly active surveillance culture of methicillin-resistant S. aureus colonization in

Containing methicillin-resistantS aureus
Postgraduate Medicine, 2001In the past two decades, the prevalence of MRSA has increased in healthcare facilities in many countries around the world. The organism, which has caused nosocomial outbreaks, also has become endemic in many hospitals and long-term care facilities. Recently, reports of community-acquired MRSA in persons without known risk factors for the organism have ...

Between May 2008 and October 2009, a total of 2103 interns were randomly tested for nasal colonization of S. aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The prevalence of S. aureus among staphylococci specimens was 23.1%, and among the total S. aureus the MRSA prevalence was 9.4%.

[Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-resistant S. aureus: MRSA)].
Nihon rinsho. Japanese journal of clinical medicine, 2012Before antibiotic development, Staphylococcus aureus was a cause of serious invasive infections such as sepsis and meningitis and claimed many lives. However, even after antibiotic development, S. aureus posed a new threat as a major nosocomial pathogen, changing it to methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) since 1961.

Universal decolonization is recommended in intensive care units (ICUs) that have unacceptably high rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) despite implementation of basic prevention strategies.An interrupted time series study was performed to evaluate the effect of daily chlorhexidine bathing on the acquisition of MRSA in a medical ...
