Abstract

OBJECTIVE To explore the characteristics of clinical infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA).and drug resistance.METHODS From Jan 2009 to Jun 2011,the distribution of the specimens and the departments from which 103 strains of MRSA as well as the drug resistance was analyzed.RESULTS MRSA infection mainly distributed in neurosurgery department(35.9%) and ICU(20.4%);totally the 103 strains of MRSA were mainly isolated from the sputum and the wound secretion,accounting for 43.7% and 22.3%;MRSA varied in drug resistance to macrolides,aminoglycosides,quinolones,and sulfonamides except vancomycin.CONCLUSION Only we grasp the distribution and the characteristics of MRSA infections,monitor its drug resistance and reasonably use antibiotics can we effectively control the MRSA infections and its spread.
