| description | Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is one of the major causes of infection in hospitals. The increasing resistance of these bacteria to antibiotics is a concern for public health. Therefore, in order to accurately control and control Staphylococcus aureus, the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among nurses of Pasteur hospital in Bam. Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on 200 nurses including 40 males and 160 females in 1394. After taking samples from the anterior part of the nose, cultivation was performed in selected environments and biochemical tests of the bacterial species were detected. The antibiotic resistance of the staphylococcus specimens isolated by diffusion method according to CLSI standard method was investigated. Results: The findings of this study indicate the presence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus among nurses. 52 cases (26%) of 13 men and 39 women were MRSA carriers, 20 resistant to cefoxitin and 18 were oxacillin-resistant. Conclusion: Therefore, it can be concluded that the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is low, however, given that nurses with patients and different parts of the hospital such as emergency room, surgery, CCU, obstetrics and gynecology, ICU and other parts in Therefore, proper selection and accurate treatment of Staphylococcus aureus infections is important. |
