Characterization, Associated Risk Factors and Possible Treatment of Healthcare Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (HA-MRSA) and Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA)
Author(s): Rabeya Nahar Ferdous, Rashed Zaman, Shahedur Rahman, Oliullah Rafi, Shuvra Kanti Dey, Abdul Khaleque and Anowar Khasru Parvez*
Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has long been a common pathogen in healthcare facilities, but now, it has emerged as a problematic pathogen in the community setting as well. Healthcare-Associated Methicillin- Resistant S. aureus (HA-MRSA) and Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) strains have appeared as a significant pathogen in healthcare and community-associated settings. The CA-MRSA used to be susceptible to mostly used antibiotics, but the criteria have been changed for past decade. Although HA-MRSA most commonly found in urine but CA-MRSA responsible for causing UTI. So Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) can be used as gold standard to characterize S. aureus (nuc gene), MRSA (mecA gene), CA-MRSA (PVL gene in SCCmec types IV). On the other hand, HA-MRSA can be detected by the detection of SCCmec types I,.. View more»
