Differences in MRSA prevalence and resistance patterns in a tertiary center before and after joining an international program for surveillance of antimicrobial resistance

Abstract: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) emerged as one of the most important causes of hospital-acquired bloodstream infections (BSIs), especially the multidrug resistant clones. The aim of the present study was to compare prevalence and resistance patterns of MRSA bacteremia in the major tertiary-care academic and referral center in Serbia before and after implementing an active antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance. Laboratory-based before-after study was conducted during a two-year period (… Show more

“…Frequent physical contact between medical staff and patients also bad self-hygiene increase the chance of MRSA spreading (Legese et al, 2018). MRSA from patients with severe medical conditions and risk factors was found more in the intensive care unit than in the medical ward (Djuric et al, 2017). From this, we could consider staying in the intensive care unit as a risk factor for MRSA infection or colonization.…”
