Prevalence of methicillin sensitive and resistant Staphylococcus aureus carriage among German emergency medical providers
| Autor/Autorin: | Weiss, Aaron Kramer, Axel  Taube, Robert Mattner, Frauke Premke, Katrin |
Zusammenfassung: | Health care workers (HCW) in Emergency Medical Services (EMS) frequently come into contact with carriers of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains and may acquire and transmit them to patients. However, there is little data on MSSA and MRSA colonization of medical personnel in the emergency services. Additionally, few studies have analyzed the association between personal hygiene of staff and colonization. Therefore, we examined the prevalence of MSSA and MRSA in EMS staff of two German regions and evaluated their personal hygiene behavior. |
