Abstract

Background and objectives: The adaptive power of StaphylococcuS.AUREUS (S.AUREUS) to antibiotics leaded, in the early 1960s, to the emergence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). The early MRSA clones were hospital-associated (HA-MRSA). However, from the late 1990s, community-associated MRSA (CAMRSA) clones emerged worldwide. Patient’s study on the admission and the discharge provides an important information about the position of CA-MRSA, the rate of HA-MRSA COLONIZATION , risk factors for COLONIZATION. This information could be used for prevention of organism transmission, control of hospital environment, and prevention of hospital organisms spread into community. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of and some risk factors of methicillin- resistant S.AUREUS nasal COLONIZATION in hospitalized CHILDREN. Materials and Methods: Nasal swab specimens were collected on the admission and the discharge of patients admitted in the Qods educational and health pediatrics center of Qazvin. After isolation and identification the strains, the methicillin-resistance were determined by Clinical and laboratory standards institute oxacillin screening plate method. Other information was collected by questionnaire. The data were analyzed by Chi-square test.Results: A total number of 200 patients (2 to 12 years old) were studied. The carrier state of methicillinsensitive S. aureus (MSSA), and MRSA strains were 6 (3%),and 1 (./5%) respectively. From 193 remainder on discharging 14 (9%), and 3 (1.9%) patients were colonized with MSSA, and MRSA strains respectively. CEFTRIAXONE was administrated for all patients colonized with MRSA strains. There was no significant correlation between COLONIZATION with MRSA strains and studied variables.Conclusion: Our findings confirm the presence of MRSA strain in CHILDREN population in Qazvin city. The incidence of COLONIZATION with MSSA, and MRSA, in comparison of the carrier state with the same strains, were 2/4 , and 3.2 times. This rate is higher in the case of MRSA, which is correlated with administration of Ceftriaxon.
