Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus

      Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a species resistant including cephalosporin antibiotic methicillin, oxacillin, amoxicillin, and penicillin, to conventional treatment, staph. In 2008, there was a death reported 15249 people that are associated with MRSA and 89,785 cases. Appear round (cocci), the form in clusters like grapes they under the microscope. In Staphylococcus, including 40 species at least. There are two sub-types without these nine, I have a sub-type of three other hand. Are harmless most of them, I will commonly present with skin and mucous membranes of other organisms and humans. Found worldwide, they are a small part of the microbial flora of soil.

Biochemical identification

      Must be a content of N + C of the DNA and (peptidoglycan type containing teichoic acid presence and) the structure of the appropriate cell wall of strains of Staphylococcus in 30-40 mol% catalase-producing Gram-positive cocci, the various cluster allocation. Staphylococcus species can be distinguished from the facultative anaerobic gram-positive cocci and aerobic other by simple several tests. Aureus SPP. Facultative anaerobic bacteria (can grow in both aerobic and anaerobic can) is. All species, growing in the presence of bile salts. It was thought to be a coagulase-positive ALL, but not now is a coagulase-positive cocci all is known. Growth may occur in 6.5% sodium chloride solution. Baird Parker medium, Staphylococcus. With the exception of S., fermentation growth oxidation growth saprophyticus,. Aureus SPP. Susceptible to furazolidone and (100 UG disk: suppression of resistance = <15 mm zone): in bacitracin resistance (resistance of inhibition = <10 mm zone 0.04 U disk), respectively. Biochemical studies are needed to identify the species level. When bacteria divide, such that they form a mass of bacteria, split along the two axes. This is in contrast to streptococci is formed (strep. means a flexible or twisting) the strand Thus, is divided in one axis.

Risk Factors & Transmission

      It is possible to extend the setting and community health care, MRSA infections are at risk all. However, people who are weakened crowded, and the immune system or, living in conditions that are dirty and / or are more susceptible to infection due to MRSA. Hospital in HA-MRSA or healthcare-associated MRSA,, MRSA is, if it is acquired by dialysis and long-term care facilities and centers health facilities. If you have acquired in community settings, such as day care centers prisons, and homeless shelters, MRSA is also known as community associated with CA-MRSA or MRSA,. Healthcare-associated MRSA is transmitted through personal contact with objects contaminated, such as contaminated materials and other towel. It is spread by the hands of medical equipment and medical services, such as a stethoscope. Community associated MRSA is sent by by close contact with an infected person, or sharing personal items such as towels or razors such.

Clinical Manifestation and Treatment

      MRSA can not be normally present in the nose and throat, and cause disease in the host. However, open wounds in the body, when it gets scratches and cuts, in severe infections, may occur organisms. MRSA can affect the skin and soft tissue mainly, but it can cause pneumonia and sepsis and / or there is a possibility that death soon. The patient presented with the area of skin is often red, the health care provider of their I swollen and painful. It may be warm to the touch accompanied by fever and filled with drainage of pus or other. Abscess boil affected area (the "boiling" or abscess hair follicles), or (mass merged boiling) Emerald frequently. Area might look like a spider bite.

      The basic method for the treatment of MRSA infections, including draining the infected area and cutting. However, treatment with empiric antibiotic therapy may be required. Frequently, vancomycin is used. If the initial treatment of MRSA infections has failed, that the health care workers to consult an expert in infectious diseases is essential.
