Abstract

Background: Staphylococcus aureus (SA) colonization of hospital personnel is a source of hospital acquired infections.Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of NASAL CARRIAGE rate of SA and methicillin resistantStaphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among Health Care Workers (HCWs) at Qazvin university hospitals.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 396 employees of five teaching hospitals from October 2016 to April 2017. After obtaining informed consent and completion of the questionnaire, a sample was taken from the anterior nasal cavity for microbiology. The isolation of SA and their ANTIMICROBIAL SENSITIVITY were carried out by standard bacteriological procedures (disk diffusion and E-Test method). MRSA were confirmed by cefoxitin disk diffusion test. Chi square and independent t test were used to analyze the collected data.Findings: From the 198 HCWs, 32 people (16.1%) carried SA that the most carriers were workers of intensive care units (20.3%).3% of all HCWs were identified as MRSA carriers. Colonization with SA is significantly lower among nursing and higher education. All SA isolates were sensitive to vancomycin and rifampin.Conclusion: The rate of nasal SA (especially MRSA) carriage among HCWs of Qazvin university hospitals is low. Also, staff teaching appears to be a promising approach for reducing nasal carrier.Rifampin and mupirocin, for eradication of Staphylococcus colonization in health workers (even MRSA) are acceptable.
