- W2052803399 abstract "Background: Nosocomial carriage of Staphylococcus aureus is a rising topic of concern within the health care community due to increasing prevalence, association with multiple clinical presentations, complications of existing conditions, and antibiotic resistance. The carriage of S. aureus by health care professionals poses a potential risk of transmission to their patients. This study was designed to determine the carriage rates and rates of transmission within a first semester class at the AUC School of Medicine. Methods: In the initial part of the study focus was placed on assessing carriage rates. Nasal swab cultures were obtained from first semester medical students during their first week of class, and analysis was done to determine positivity for S. aureus carriage. A second assessment of carriage was performed in the same group after 12 weeks of close contact. Antibiotic resistance patterns for all isolates were obtained. The presence of coagulase enzyme activity was used as one of the markers to confirm S. aureus isolates. Amongst different strains of S. aureus there are polymorphic variations within the coagulase gene. These polymorphisms allow for analysis of related strains comparing RFLP patterns after PCR amplification. Results: The results of the initial study showed an increase in prevalence from 13.5% to 21% after the 12 week period. This indicate either possible transmission from within the cohort or possible contraction from an external source. All isolates were shown to be resistant to methicillin. The RFLP analysis on gel electrophoresis demonstrated 5 distinct band patterns from the first week of carriage assessment. Data from RFLP analysis of the 12 week carriage assessment suggests both transmission within the cohort and from an external source. Conclusion: After 12 weeks of close contact, S. aureus carriages rates rose from 13.5% to 21%. RFLP patterns demonstrated transmission within the cohort." @default.
