Nasal and rectal cultures were taken from all patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus identified on routine cultures obtained because of clinical indications. Of 117 patients studied over a 3-year period, 70 (60%) had rectal colonization and 62 (53%) had nasal colonization. Rectal colonization, probably reflecting gastrointestinal carriage, may be a source of transmission of methicillin-resistant S. aureus in hospitalized patients and may be difficult to eradicate.
对所有因临床指征进行常规培养而鉴定出耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌的患者,均采集了鼻腔和直肠培养样本。在为期3年的研究中纳入的117例患者中,70例(60%)有直肠定植,62例(53%)有鼻腔定植。直肠定植可能反映了胃肠道携带情况,可能是住院患者耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌的传播源,且可能难以根除。
