A total of 200 subjects were screened for carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) at different sites using oxacillin blood agar and mannitol salt agar with oxacillin. Overall carriage rate was 8.5%, with the highest rate in inpatients (15.6%) while the lowest was seen in health care workers (1.8%). The commonest site of colonization was the anterior nares. Oxacillin blood agar was found to be superior to mannitol salt agar with oxacillin for the isolation of MRSA. Male sex and prolonged hospital stay were found to be the major risk factors for MRSA colonization.
共有200名受试者,使用含苯唑西林的苯唑西林血琼脂和甘露醇盐琼脂,在不同部位筛查耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)的携带情况。总体携带率为8.5%,住院患者携带率最高(15.6%),而医护人员携带率最低(1.8%)。最常见的定植部位是前鼻孔。发现含苯唑西林的苯唑西林血琼脂在分离MRSA方面优于含苯唑西林的甘露醇盐琼脂。男性和住院时间延长是MRSA定植的主要危险因素。
