The MRSA group had a significantly higher average age compared to the non-MRSA group (P < 0.05). Notably, the incidence of suppurative arthritis was significantly lower in the MRSA group (P < 0.05). A...
In children newly admitted with acute osteomyelitis, a CRP level exceeding 73.23 µg/mL may indicate a high likelihood of MRSA infection. For children with AO who have been hospitalized for three days ...
The objectives of this work were to know the prevalence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) infections in the paediatric population of our health department, to describe the risk factors for inf...
A retrospective, descriptive and analytical study of infections produced by MRSA versus those produced by MSSA was carried out during the years 2014 to 2018. Risk factors for MRSA infection were studi...
162 patients with S. aureus infections were identified. Of these, 25 (15.4%) were MRSA. The highest percentages of MRSA infection occurred among children who required hospital admission (23.4%). In th...

A total of 10 genetically distinct MRSA strains were included in this study. The checkerboard titration analysis revealed that the CPT-DAP, CPT-VAN, and CPT-LNZ combinations had a synergistic effect a...
The CPT-DAP combination showed better synergistic activity than the CPT-VAN and CPT-LNZ combinations against the enrolled MRSA strains. DAP, rather than VAN or LNZ, might be a better choice for CPT co...
The methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has a high negative predictive value (NPV). We aimed to understand if there was a difference in the NPV of the MR...
We performed a single-center, retrospective cohort study of adults with a positive respiratory culture and MRSA nasal PCR admitted to a surgical ICU from 2016 to 2019. Patients were stratified by surg...

Severe infections of virulent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are a serious health problem. The present study aimed to investigate clonal spread, virulence and antimicrobial resista...
Molecular identification and mecA gene detection were performed with PCR. Clonal relatedness was evaluated by RAPD PCR and MLST. MRSA epidemiology, virulence and resistance patterns were investigated ...
All 27 isolates were identified as S. aureus and were mecA positive, and all were susceptible to linezolid, tigecycline and vancomycin. The toxin genes hlg (in 92.6% of isolates), seb (77.8%), sei (77...
To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first describing the clonal spreading of Bulgarian MRSA and the association with their virulence and resistance determinants. Monitoring of MRSA epidemi...
Endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) procedures are inherently contaminated due to direct access through the nasopharyngeal mucosa. The reported rate of postoperative meningitis in EEA procedures is 0....
All adult patients who underwent EEA resection at our institution from 2013 to 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with preoperative cerebrospinal fluid infections were excluded. Data includi...
Of 483 patients identified (mean age, 51 years; range, 18-90 years; 274 [56.7%] female), 80 (16.6%) had a positive preoperative methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)/methicillin-sensitive...
Postoperative rates of meningitis after EEA surgery were not significantly changed based on MRSA/MSSA colonization status of the patient or preoperative decolonization. The utility of preoperative tes...
