Even though today's gastroenterology nurses and associates use universal precautions when performing or assisting with patient procedures, continuously updated information is still needed regarding rapidly evolving infectious organisms to prevent the transmission of serious infections. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has emerged as a widespread nosocomial pathogen. Many infections can be prevented if potential sources of infection are identified, the principle routes of transmission are understood, and the most susceptible patients. are recognized and protected from exposure. All health care personnel are potential vectors for this organism, mandating that the infectious potential of MRSA be fully appreciated.
尽管如今的胃肠病学护士及助理在实施或协助患者进行诊疗操作时会采取通用防护措施，但对于快速演变的感染性生物体，仍需要不断更新信息，以防止严重感染的传播。耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（MRSA）已成为一种广泛传播的医院病原体。如果能识别潜在的感染源，了解主要传播途径，并识别出最易感染的患者并防止其暴露，许多感染是可以预防的。所有医护人员都是这种生物体的潜在传播媒介，这就要求充分认识到MRSA的感染潜力。
