During the past year five patients from countries in the Middle East admitted to a burns unit were found to harbour a strain of Staphylococcus aureus with unusual multi-resistance to antibiotics. The admission of the first patient was followed by an outbreak of infection with this strain involving ten patients in the unit. In addition five staff members were found to be nasal carriers of the strain. As a result of this incident, the following four patients admitted to the unit were isolated on admission and the spread of their strans was thus prevented. It is recommended that patients on admission to burns units, or similar departments with patients very susceptible to infection, are isolated until their bacterial floras have been examined.
在过去一年里,一家烧伤科收治了来自中东国家的5名患者,结果发现他们感染了一种对多种抗生素具有异常耐药性的金黄色葡萄球菌。第一名患者入院后,该科室爆发了由这种菌株引起的感染,涉及10名患者。此外,还发现5名医护人员是该菌株的鼻腔携带者。由于这一事件,随后收治到该科室的4名患者在入院时即被隔离,从而防止了该菌株的传播。建议烧伤科或类似有极易感染患者的科室,对入院患者进行隔离,直至检查其菌群情况。
