MRSA
|
Date Added: Friday 11 June, 2010
At London Bridge Hospital, minimising the risk of healthcare associated
infection, including MRSA infection, for each patient is a matter of
continuous vigilance, robust infection surveillance systems and ongoing
training of staff at all levels in hospital hygiene. Our entire care
infection control procedures are supervised and reinforced by our
experienced and dedicated Infection Control Nurses and Consultant
Medical advisers.
Staphylococcus aureus is an organism commonly found on the skin and in
the nose of healthy people. About 30% of us carry this bacterium and the
population affected is continually changing. Methicillin resistant
Staph aureus (MRSA) is a much less common variant which is resistant to
penicillin and cephalosporin antibiotics commonly used to treat
sensitive strains. There are many other antibiotics readily available to
treat MRSA infection. These organisms may also be transiently present
on the skin without causing infection. However, like sensitive Staph
aureus, on occasion, these organisms can cause infection and, rarely,
blood infection or septicaemia.
