The extent of methicillin-resistant (MRSA) infection in Nepalese children is largely unknown.
MATERIALS & METHODS: Six hundred and seventy-two clinical samples collected from 232 patients between June and November 2016 were processed in a microbiology laboratory.
Out of 300 culture-positive samples, 52 (17.3%) were isolates. Among those 52, 39 (75.0%) were found to be MRSA. The infection rate of was shown to be higher in inpatients (55.7%) compared with outpatients (44.3%) at p = 0.637, 95% CI. Thirteen types of antibiotics were used in the antibiotic susceptibility test. MRSA isolates showed 100 and 0% resistance to penicillin and vancomycin, respectively. The D-test showed inducible clindamycin-resistant phenotype in 15.4% of MRSA isolates.
This demonstrates the utmost need for routine testing for MRSA in Nepalese hospitals.
尼泊尔儿童耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)感染的程度很大程度上未知。
2016年6月至11月期间从232名患者收集的672份临床样本在微生物实验室进行处理。
在300份培养阳性样本中,有52份(17.3%)为分离株。在这52份中,发现39份(75.0%)为MRSA。在p = 0.637、95%置信区间的情况下,住院患者的MRSA感染率(55.7%)高于门诊患者(44.3%)。在抗生素敏感性试验中使用了13种抗生素。MRSA分离株对青霉素和万古霉素的耐药率分别为100%和0%。D试验显示15.4%的MRSA分离株具有诱导型克林霉素耐药表型。
这表明尼泊尔医院对MRSA进行常规检测极为必要。
