MRSA control

  • serious MRSA infections must be treated with vancomycin. Thus, in hospitals with high rates of MRSA, use of this antimicrobial agent increases, which in turn may increase the risk for selecting vancomycin-resistant enterococci.

  • HA-MRSA has increased during the past decade due to a number of factors including an increased number of immunocompromised and elderly patients; an increase in the number of invasive procedures, e.g., advanced surgical operations and life support treatments; and failures in infection control measures such as hand washing prior to patient contact and removal of non-essential catheters.

MRSA spread

shared by Mikeria Busby on 03 Sep 15 - No Cached
  • MRSA infection risk can be increased when a person is in certain activities or places that involve crowding, skin-to-skin contact, and shared equipment or supplies. This might include athletes, daycare and school students, military personnel in barracks, and people who recently received inpatient medical care.

animals MRSA

  • It was first thought that the transmission of MRSA to animals was only from human to animal, with contact between the hands of the human and nostrils of the animal. There is now increasing evidence that MRSA can be transmitted in both directions, from human to animal (reverse zoonotic) and from animal to human (zoonotic).
