“…Therefore, it is necessary to pay great attention to nasal luid specimens in hemodialysis patients. A meta-analysis on six published cohort studies indicated that among 1150 hemodialysis patients, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) was isolated from nasal swabs of 147 (12.8%) patients [23], which is lower than the percentages in the present study. This difference is due to the fact that we have reported the whole infections and they have considered MRSA as the most important pathogen in resistant BSI.…”

“…Antiseptic agents such as chlorhexidine digluconate (chlorhexidine, CHX), octenidine dihydrochloride (OCT), polyhexanide (polyhexamethylene biguanide, PHMB), PVP-iodine (Poly(vinylpyrrolidone)-iodine complex, PVP-I), and triclosan (5-chlorine-2-(2,4-dichlorphenoxy)-phenol, TCX) are widely used as topical antiseptics against colonization and infection of humans and animals with Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) [1–7]. The clinical benefits of decolonization of MRSA patients for prevention of nosocomial infections is well documented [8–10]. The antimicrobial properties of these agents against hospital acquired (HA) MRSA strains have been repeatedly shown [11–17].…”

“…Most typically, aerobic Gram‐positive cocci such as Staphylococcus serve as the contaminant, with resistant pathogens such as MRSA representing an increasing proportion of infections in recent years . Such infections play a major role in patients undergoing haemodialysis, after total hip and knee arthroplasty, cardiac surgery, recurrent staphylococcal skin infections, especially for patients with atopic dermatitis and soft tissue infections . Decolonization is considered important in critical care medicine .…”
