{"title":"Prevalence of methicillin sensitive and resistant Staphylococcus aureus carriage among German emergency medical providers.","authors":"Aaron Weiss, Axel Kramer, Robert Taube, Frauke Mattner, Katrin Premke","doi":"10.3205/dgkh000490","DOIUrl":"10.3205/dgkh000490","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>Health care workers (HCW) in Emergency Medical Services (EMS) frequently come into contact with carriers of methicillin-susceptible <i>Staphylococcus</i> <i>aureus</i> (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA) strains and may acquire and transmit them to patients. However, there is little data on MSSA and MRSA colonization of medical personnel in the emergency services. Additionally, few studies have analyzed the association between personal hygiene of staff and colonization. Therefore, we examined the prevalence of MSSA and MRSA in EMS staff of two German regions and evaluated their personal hygiene behavior.</p><p><strong>Method: </strong>Throat and nasal swabs from 300 EMS workers were analyzed. Both direct and pre-enriched cultures of the swabs were cultivated on culture media to identify MSSA and MRSA. Results were analyzed together with questionnaires about sociodemographic data and a self-assessment of hygiene behavior. Statistical analysis was done using the R statistical software.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Of the total 300 swabs, 55% were from paramedics, 39% were from emergency medical technicians (EMT) and 5% were from emergency physicians. With 1%, the MRSA prevalence was comparable to that of the German population, while the MSSA rate - 43.7% - was higher than expected. Colonization with MSSA was significantly associated with poor hand hygiene and male sex, and was inversely correlated to time on the job in EMS.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The sample size of 300 and a MRSA prevalence of 1% made a meaningful analysis of potential influencing factors on the prevalence of MRSA infeasible. The comparatively high prevalence of MSSA and the association with decreasing frequency of hand antisepsis suggests an influence of personal hygiene on MSSA colonization. HCW in EMS should be encouraged to make use of their personal protective equipment and practice frequent hand hygiene. The implementation of diagnostic tools such as the Hand Hygiene Self-Assessment Framework of the WHO could be utilized to reveal problems in organizations, followed by an individual program to promote hand hygiene.</p>","PeriodicalId":12738,"journal":{"name":"GMS Hygiene and Infection Control","volume":"19 ","pages":"Doc35"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11238403/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141590066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The presence of the <i>BauA</i> and <i>BasD</i> genes was determined through conventional PCR techniques.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The results derived from Oxa-51 PCR confirmed the identification of all 50 selected strains of <i>A. baumannii</i>. Additionally, both the <i>BauA</i> and <i>BasD</i> genes were successfully identified in 82% of the MDR strains.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Moreover, the varying antibiotic resistance patterns highlight the challenge in treating <i>A. baumannii</i> infections effectively. Strategies such as combination therapy, antimicrobial stewardship, and infection control measures should be considered to combat this multidrug-resistant pathogen.</p>","PeriodicalId":12738,"journal":{"name":"GMS Hygiene and Infection Control","volume":"19 ","pages":"Doc25"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11177110/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141330760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
