Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of nasal colonization by Stapylococcus aureus and methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) among the patients and workers of the hemodialysis units. The nasal carriage of 87-patients and 24 workers in İzmit Social Security Hospital and 54 patients and 11 workers in İzmit State Hospital were studied. The nasal swabs taken were examined with routine bacteriological tests. Staphylococcus aureus colonization was found in 20 (23%) of 87 dialysis patients, and methicillin resistance was determined in one of them, and MRSA colonization rate was determined in 1.1% among the dialysis patients in Social Security Hospital. However, 13 (24%) of the 54 patients had S. aureus colonization, one of them having MRSA, and MRSA colonization rate was determined to be 1.8% among the dialysis patients in İzmit State Hospital. Staphyococcus aureus colonization was found in one (4%) of the 24 workers in the Dialysis Unit of Social Security Hospital and five (45%) of the 11 workers in the Dialysis Unit of İzmit State Hospital. Methicillin resistance among workers could not be detected in both hospitals. As a result, the nasal carriage and MRSA rates were found lower than Turkey's rate among the hemodialysis patients and workers of the hemodialysis unit in Kocaeli

Özet

Bu çalışmada, hemodiyaliz hastaları ve aynı ünitenin sağlık çalışanlarında Staphylococcus aureus burun kolonizasyonu ve metisiline dirençli S. aureus (MRSA) oranlarının saptanması amaçlandı. İzmit SSK Hastanesi Hemodiyaliz Ünitesi'nde izlenen 87 hasta ve aynı ünitede çalışan 24 personelin, İzmit Devlet Hastanesi Hemodiyaliz Ünitesi'nde izlenen 54 hasta ve aynı ünitenin 11 personelinin burunlarında S. aureus kolonizasyonu arandı. Burundan alınan sürüntü örnekleri rutin bakteriyolojik testlerle incelendi. İzmit SSK Hastanesi'ndeki 87 hemodiyaliz hastasının 20'sinde (%23) S. aureus kolonizasyonu ve bu suşların birinde metisilin direnci saptandı ve bu hasta grubunda MRSA kolonizasyon oranı %1.1 olarak bulundu. İzmit Devlet Hastanesi 54 hemodiyaliz hastasının 13'ünde (%24) S. aureus kolonizasyonu ile bu suşların birinde metisilin direnci saptandı ve bu hasta grubunda MRSA kolonizasyon oranı %1.8 olarak bulundu. SSK Hastanesi diyaliz ünitesi 24 personelinden birinde (%4), Devlet Hastanesi Diyaliz Ünitesi personelinin beşinde (%45) S. aureus kolonizasyonu saptandı; her iki hastanenin çalışanlarında metisilin direnci saptanmadı. Sonuç olarak, Kocaeli İli'ndeki hemodializ hastaları ve onlara tedavi veren sağlık personelinde Türkiye düzeyinden düşük düzeyde taşıyıcılık ve MRSA oranı saptanmıştır.
