Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is now a major cause of adult bacteraemia. All reports of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia to the Health Protection Agency were analysed from 1990 to 2001. There were 376 cases of MRSA bacteraemia in children <15 years over this time. The proportion of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia due to MRSA increased steadily from 0.9% in 1990 to 13% in 2000. The proportion was higher in infants. MRSA bacteraemia is now a serious problem in children in England and Wales. More data on the risk factors for acquisition and spread of MRSA in children are required.
耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（MRSA）现已成为成人菌血症的主要病因。对1990年至2001年向健康保护局报告的所有金黄色葡萄球菌菌血症病例进行了分析。在此期间，15岁以下儿童中有376例MRSA菌血症病例。由MRSA引起的金黄色葡萄球菌菌血症比例从1990年的0.9%稳步上升至2000年的13%。婴儿中的比例更高。MRSA菌血症目前在英格兰和威尔士的儿童中是一个严重问题。需要更多关于儿童中MRSA获得和传播危险因素的数据。
