Abstract

It is aimed to establish the nasal Staphylococcus aureus rates among the staff of our hospital and to take the necessary precautions for this problem. From January 17, 2006 to February 13, 2006 the nasal cultures of 500 hospital staff were investigated and 69 (13.8 %) samples were found positive for S.aureus, 9 (1.8 %) of which were methicillin resistant strains. The carriage rate in male staff (44/240, 18.3 %) was significantly higher than that in female staff (25/260, 9.6 %) (p=0.005). When the occupation was considered, the carriage rates were 16.2 % among auxillary healthcare workers, 14 % among physicians and 11 % among nurses. The rates of carriage were 20.8 % in operation rooms, 14.7 % in laboratories, 13.3 % in outpatient clinics, 11.1 % in inpatient clinics, and 6.2 % in intensive care unit. The differences among rates of these groups were insignificant. The resistance to penicillin G was found to be 91.3 % and to methicillin 13 %, while no resistance was found for vancomycin and teicoplanin. Five days' mupirocin therapy was given to 60 of 69 cariers and eradication was achieved in 52 (87 %) of these staff.

Özet

Hastanemiz personelinde burunda Staphylococcus aureus taşıyıcılığının araştırılması ve gerekli önlemlerin alınması amaçlanmıştır. 17.01.2006 -13.02.2006 tarihleri arasında 500 hastane personelinden alınan burun kültürlerinden, 9'u (% 1.8) MRSA olmak üzere, 69 (% 13.8)'unda S.aureus saptanmıştır. Erkeklerde burunda S.aureus taşıyıcılığı (44/240, % 18.3) kadınlara (25/260, % 9.6) göre çok anlamlı derecede yüksek bulunmuştur (p= 0.005). Meslek dağılımına göre burunda S.aureus taşıyıcılığı yardımcı sağlık personelinde % 16.2, doktorlarda % 14, hemşirelerde % 11 olarak, hastane personelinde çalıştıkları birimlere göre burunda S.aureus taşıyıcılığı ameliyathanede % 20.8, laboratuvarda % 14.7, polikliniklerde % 13.3, servislerde % 11.1 ve yoğun bakımlarda % 6.2 olarak tespit edilmiş, gruplar arasında anlamlı fark bulunmamıştır. İzole edilen S.aureus suşlarında penisilin G direnci % 91.3, metisilin direnci % 13 bulunurken vankomisine ve teikoplanine direnç gözlenmemiştir. Burunda S.aureus taşıyıcısı olan 69 personelin 60'ına 5 gün süre ile mupirosin tedavisi uygulanmış ve 52'sinde (% 87) eradikasyon sağlanmıştır.
