- W4226014987 abstract "Abstract Background: Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a rampant cause of healthcare associated infections(HAI),causing wide range of infections in patients and is mainly spread by asymptomatic nasal carriage in Health care workers(HCWs).The treatment is topical mupirocin which is becoming ineffective owing to acquisition of mupirocin resistance.Therefore their detection in HCWs and the associated mupirocin resistance is necessary. Aim: To find the prevalence of MRSA in nasal swabs taken from HCWs Methods: A nasal swab was collected from the anterior nares of the consenting HCWs. The swabs were then inoculated on basal media and colonies were identified using standard biochemical methods. All Staphylococcus aureus and Coagulase negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) were subjected to disc diffusion method using Cefoxitin (30µg) discs to detect MRSA and MRCoNS. The resistant isolates were tested with mupirocin discs to detect mupirocin resistance. Results: Of 100 HCWs,S.aureus was isolated in 46 (46%) ,out of which MRSA were 4 (8.69%). CoNS was isolated in 3 (3%) workers, of whom MRCoNS was found in 1 (33.33%). 1 isolate from MRSA(25%) and no MRCoNS showed mupirocin resistance Conclusion: Healthcare workers complying with the sanitary guidelines is the single most important factor in preventing HAI. There is a need for stringent HAI control practices as well increasing awareness among HCWs about such practices." @default.
