The aim of this study was to determine nasal carriage, risk factors and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus among health care-workers of Adigrat and Wukro hospitals Northern Ethiopia.
The overall prevalence of S. aureus and methicillin resistance S. aureus (MRSA) in the present study were 12% (29/242) and 5.8% (14/242) respectively. The rate of MRSA among S. aureus was 48.3%(14/29). In this study, MRSA carriage was particularly higher among nurse professionals (7.8%) and surgical ward (17.1%). None of the MRSA isolates were sensitive to penicillin and ampicillin. However, low resistance was found for chloramphenicol and clindamycin. Being diabetic and use of hands rub was statistically significant with MRSA colonization.
本研究旨在确定埃塞俄比亚北部阿迪格拉特和武克罗医院医护人员中甲氧西林耐药金黄色葡萄球菌的鼻腔携带情况、危险因素及抗菌药物敏感性模式。
本研究中金黄色葡萄球菌和耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（MRSA）的总体患病率分别为12%（29/242）和5.8%（14/242）。金黄色葡萄球菌中MRSA的比例为48.3%（14/29）。在本研究中，护士专业人员（7.8%）和外科病房（17.1%）的MRSA携带率尤其较高。所有MRSA分离株对青霉素和氨苄西林均不敏感。然而，发现氯霉素和克林霉素的耐药率较低。糖尿病和使用手部消毒剂与MRSA定植在统计学上具有显著意义。
