摘要
Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a well-known nosocomial pathogen in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) patients. Studies on the impact of MRSA colonization on neonatal morbidities are scarce. Methods: We conducted a 1:3 matched cohort study among infants with and without MRSA colonization, born between January 2010 and June 2014, in a tertiary NICU to review their demographic characteristics and outcomes. Results: During the study period, rates of MRSA colonization and bacteremia were found to be 0.68% and 0.10%, respectively. No differences in demographic characteristics, mortality, and major morbidities were identified among infants with and without MRSA colonization. Conclusions: We reported a low rate of MRSA colonization in infants admitted to our NICU, without impact on mortality and inhospital morbidity. Further large-scale studies are needed to understand the implications and cost-effectiveness of active MRSA surveillance.
