Also, it will explain the most recent disease statistics; identify a person’s risk of contracting the disease, methods used to control the spread of the disease, and explain implications for disaster.Screening of MRSA infection was conducted in patients as well as staff of Rao Nursing home, Pune for early identification of MRSA infection and prevention of transmission. Results: Community acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA) was more common when compared to Hospital acquired pneumonia (HA-MRSA). HA-MRSA was more common in patients admitted in isolation units.

Sustained reduction in methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus wound infections after cardiothoracic surgery. There was a decrease in number of MRSA positive cultures from 2014 (4.8%) to 2015 (1.3%), proving the effectiveness of screening for MRSA infection amongst patients as well as healthcare workers. Impact of a surveillance screening program on rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections with a comparison of surgical versus nonsurgical patients.

Higher hand hygiene rates were observed in 2015 (95.83%), which further contributed to the decrease in incidence of MRSA infection in 2015.

Cost-Effectiveness of Strategies to Prevent Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Transmission and Infection in an Intensive Care Unit. The relationship between hand hygiene and health care-associated infection: it’s complicated. Methods: 1044 and 996 samples with positive cultures obtained from patients admitted in 20 respectively were screened for MRSA using chrome agar test.Only MRSA positive cultures were included in the study and their sensitivity to antibiotics was tested.These states consisted of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, and Tennessee.This surveillance area represented 19,393,677 persons. The number of cases in 2011 that were CA-MRSA was 1010, HA-MRSA was 3780.It is importance to assess the effectiveness of surveillance screening programs in prevention of MRSA infection.The objective of the study was to assess the type, pattern and antimicrobial sensitivity of MRSA infection and analyse the effectiveness of preventive measures in reduction of MRSA infection rate from 2014 to 2015.
