Abstract

Stapylococcus aureus is a common cause of nosocomial infections that in many cases, the source of infection are nasal carrier personnels. The complication of S.aureus infection especially with resistant strains can be severe, even with use of antibiotics. Therefore, it is essential to control programs for inhibition of transmission of infection and decrease of antibiotic resistance. For this reason, it is necessary to study the carriage status of HOSPITAL PERSONNELS. In this cross-sectional study, the prevalence of S.aureus NASAL CARRIAGE and methicillin resistant strains were investigated in personnels of a education hospital in Tehran Nasal swab specimens were obtained from 227 personnels and identification of S.aureus was done by catalase and coagulase tests and fermentation of mannitol. Methicillin resistance was detelmined by culture on Muellar-Hinton agar with 4% sodium chloride and 6 µ/mloxacillin. 45(19.8%) personnels were carriers. 12 strains were resistant to methicillin, therefore the carriage rate with methicillin resistant S.aureus in studied personnels were 5.4% and the proportion of resistant strains to all isolated strains were 26.7%. There are not statistical differences regarding sex, job and ward distribution among carriers and noncarriers (P> 0.05) but there is an association between age and carriage by T-test (P= 0.04). This study demonstrate the low rate of NASAL CARRIAGE of S.aureus and methicillin resistant strains in studied hospital comparing with the same studies in other hospitals in Iran, but the distribution of carriers in all wards emphesis doing continious studies about S.aureus carriage status and treatment of carriers or excluding them from take care of susceptible patients with wound or bum for the control of nosocomial infections.
