Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify differences in the sensitivity of anatomical sites sampling for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization related to age, gender, clinical situation, and acquisition source as a base for screening protocols. We used a database that included all MRSA-positive cultures (Carmel Medical Center, 2003-2006) taken from nares, throat, perineum, and infection sites. The study population of 597 patients was divided into: "screening sample" (SS), which were cases of routine screening, and "clinical diagnostic sample" (CDS), which were patients with concurrent MRSA infection. MRSA acquisition sources were classified as internal medicine, surgical, referral patients, or intensive care unit (ICU). CDS patients were older than SS patients (median age 78 vs. 74 years, p = 0.0002), more commonly throat colonized (47.5% vs. 31.8%, p = 0.0001), and colonized in more multiple sites (65.7% vs. 43.3% were colonized in three sites in the CDS and SS groups, respectively, p < 0.001) than SS patients. In the SS, group throat colonization was higher in internal medicine wards than in the ICU (odds ratio [OR] = 3.98, p < 0.0001). In the CDS group, perineal colonization was more common in refe...Continue Reading
