“…Das Thema "MRSA" ist wegen des stark wachsenden Anteils älterer Menschen und demzufolge häufigeren behandlungsbedürfti-gen Infektionen ein ernstzunehmendes Problem in der Geriatrie. MRSA wird häufiger bei geriatrischen Patienten gefunden, die aus Krankenhäusern oder Altenpflegeheimen stammen als bei solchen, die von zu Hause kommen (18), was wiederum durch den Selektionsdruck durch häufige Antibiotikabehandlung in medizinischen Einrichtungen und dem Zusammenleben vieler alter, teils pflegebedürftiger Menschen auf relativ engem Raum erklärt werden kann.…”

Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) has become an important cause of severe infection in hospitalized patients all over the world. In Germany a significant increase of nosocomial infections due to MRSA has occurred during the last 10 years. Especially elderly patients with chronic illnesses are at increased risk of becoming colonized or infected with MRSA. This report focuses on epidemiology and therapy of MRSA, and on the recommendations concerning management and prevention of spread of MRSA in hospitals and nursing homes.

When hospitalized patients develop infections, it extends their hospital stay and can increase their risk of death. Preventing the onset of infection reduces the burden on patients as well as on the hospital. Controlling the amount of antibiotics used can also help to suppress drug-resistant bacteria. When the flow rate of long chain triglyceride lipid emulsion in nutritional supplementation is fast, it has been reported that it could inhibit reticuloendothelial function because artificial triglycerides accumulate in the blood. However, accumulation of artificial triglycerides can be avoided when the flow rate is less than 0.10 g/kg/hr. We examined the relationship between the presence/lack of infections and the flow rate of lipid emulsion, by studying 23 patients with body weights under 40 kg who were administered lipid emulsion intravenously for a period of 14 days or more. Of the infected group, 5 out of 13 cases (38.5％) received a flow rate less than 0.10 g/kg/hr. However, in the non-infected group, 8 out of 10 cases (80.0％) had been administered a flow rate that was less than 0.10 g/kg/hr (P = 0.046). Therefore, we believe the risk of infection can be suppressed by managing the intravenous lipid emulsion flow rate at less than 0.10 g/kg/hr.
