Abstract

Athletes are vulnerable to Staphylococcus aureus infections due to skin-to-skin contact and skin abrasions during training and competitions involving sharied sport equipment or toiletries, which promote the spread of the bacteria between athletes and within sport teams. This results not only in higher prevalence of S. aureus carriage among athletes compared to the general population, but also in outbreaks of infections, particularly skin infections, within sports teams. To limit the spread of S. aureus among athletes, a decolonization protocol can be applied when clustered cases of S. aureus infections occur, especially if Panton-Valentine leukocidin-producing strains are implicated. Finally, to avoid exposing athletes to S. aureus transmission/colonization, it is recommended to establish strict and clearly formulated individual and collective hygiene rules and to regularly disinfect shared sports equipment.

金黄色葡萄球菌：没有 2024 年巴黎奥运会的入场券！

运动员容易感染金黄色葡萄球菌，这是因为在训练和比赛期间，运动员的皮肤与皮肤接触，皮肤擦伤，共用运动器材或盥洗用品，这些都促进了细菌在运动员之间和运动队内部的传播。这不仅导致运动员中金黄色葡萄球菌的携带率高于普通人群，还导致运动队内部爆发感染，尤其是皮肤感染。为了限制金黄色葡萄球菌在运动员中的传播，当出现金黄色葡萄球菌群集感染病例时，特别是当涉及到产生潘通-瓦伦丁白细胞介素的菌株时，可以采用去菌落方案。最后，为避免运动员感染金黄色葡萄球菌，建议制定严格、明确的个人和集体卫生规则，并定期对共用运动器材进行消毒。
