Colonization of health care workers with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been an important route of dispersion and infection of MRSA and has been implicated in epidemic outbreaks. The objective of the present study was to assess prevalence of MRSA colonization in the anterior nares of health care personnel at the intensive care unit (ICUs) of three hospital facilities in Quito, Ecuador.
The prevalence of MRSA in specimens from all ICU health care workers of three hospitals was measured by using a real-time PCR assay and CHROMagar MRSA.
The prevalence of MRSA among the three health care facilities was 2.4%.
The prevalence of MRSA colonization was relatively low compared to other studies and showed no differences between hospital facilities.
耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（MRSA）在医护人员中的定植一直是MRSA传播和感染的重要途径，并与疫情爆发有关。本研究的目的是评估厄瓜多尔基多市三家医院重症监护病房（ICU）医护人员前鼻孔中MRSA定植的患病率。
采用实时聚合酶链反应检测法和CHROMagar MRSA检测三家医院所有ICU医护人员标本中MRSA的患病率。
三家医疗机构中MRSA的患病率为2.4%。
与其他研究相比，MRSA定植的患病率相对较低，且各医院之间无差异。
