Abstract

Background: Staphylococcal naso-carriers are one of the most important leading causes of NOSOCOMIAL INFECTION. The antimicrobial resistance of this organism is problematic. The purpose of this study is the comparison between surgery ward staff and control group for staphylococcal nasocarriers and antimicrobial resistance. Materials and methods: We conducted a case control study in which 63 samples of nasal swab from each group were cultured and anti-biogram was performed. Results: The results showed 71.4% of NASOPHARYNGEAL CARRIERS in case group and 30.2% in control group (P<0.001). Antimicrobial resistances in surgical staff were 100% for penicillin and 0% for Vancomycin. Other antimicrobial resistances were Oxacillin (64.4%), Clindamycin (42.2%), Erythromycin (68.9%) Doxycycline (62.2%) and Cotrimoxazole (57.8%), respectively. We compared the antimicrobial resistance between the two groups and found a statistically significant difference. Conclusions: The findings suggest the increased rate of Methicillin resistant organism in surgical staff comparing with control group. Therefore recognition and treatment of these carriers are recommended.
