Current Knowledge of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus and Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus

Abstract: Background: Bacterial strains that are oxacillin and methicillin-resistant, historically termed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are resistant to all ß-lactam agents, including cephalosporins and carbapenems. MRSA are pathogenic and have a number of virulence factors that enable them to result in disease. They are transmissible and important causes of nosocomial infections worldwide. An MRSA outbreak can occur when one strain is transmitted to other patients or through close contacts of infec… Show more

“…Staphylococci resistant strains to penicillinase-stable penicillins-oxacillin (n=13) ( Table 1) -may constitute a potential health risk for consumers, considering that oxacillin and methicillin resistant strains are resistant to all β-lactam agents (Matouskova and Janout, 2008). In this study, 5 strains resistant only to oxacillin were detected (Table 1).…”

“…A partir de 1990, reportes de infecciones ocasionadas por Staphylococcus aureus meticilino-resistente (SAMR) en personas sin contacto previo con algún establecimiento de salud, marcaron el surgimiento de una nueva cepa de S. aureus, denominada Staphylococcus aureus meticilino-resistente adquirido en comunidad (SAMR-AC) (3)(4)(5)(6) .…”

“…En un inicio, los reportes de infecciones por SAMR-AC involucraban infecciones relativamente leves, localizadas en piel y tejidos blandos (como abscesos, foliculitis, celulitis e impétigo); sin embargo, casos de infecciones graves de partes blandas (fasceitis necrotizante), asociados a bacteriemia y neumonía, fueron posteriormente descritos y han sido responsables del aumento en la mortalidad (3)(4)(5)(6) .…”
