Study of nasal carriage Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus in hemodialysis patients in Kermanshah

Abstract

Background: Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) nasal carriers play role in development of nosocomial infections and may increase treatment costs and mortality rate. These isolates, in addition to beta lactamase, is resistant to other drugs. Carrier frequency and spectrum awareness of drug sensitivity in these isolates will be useful in choosing more effective methods of control and treatment.
