“…B. subtilis is not a human pathogen, but B. cereus causes various infectious diseases, such as food poisoning, bacteremia, meningitis, pneumonia, and endocarditis [10]. S. aureus is one of the most important pyogenic bacteria [11], and MRSA is an especially dangerous pathogen because it is resistant to many antibiotics [12]. Therefore, the transmission of these bacteria via ultrasound probes must be prevented.…”

“…A recent finding is that many apparently susceptible S. aureus strains actually contain small populations of mecA -positive cells (26). Many patients are colonized at admission with MSSA, located mostly in the pharynx, but also in other sites (3).…”

“…Recent figures show that infections due to MRSA are responsible for 50 % of hospital-acquired infections with increasing morbidity and mortality, and in some areas, more than 50 % of S . aureus bacteremias are caused by MRSA (Taiwo 2009). The level of importance of infections caused by staphylococci has been presented by Klein et al (2007).…”
