Prevalence and risk factors for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus colonization in a diabetic outpatient population: A prospective cohort study

Prevalence of nasal carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in children with diabetes mellitus: Trends between 2005 and 2013

“…Despite the relatively fewer number of studies on children with DM, reported MRSA colonization rates are significantly lower in comparison with studies on adult populations. 3,4 This could be attributed to the shorter follow-up periods in children after a diagnosis is confirmed and to a lower prevalence of complications, such as chronic renal failure and diabetic foot, which are known to increase the risk of MRSA colonization.…”

“…5,6 Nasal colonization rates in children and adolescents with type 1 DM have been evaluated in only 1 study, 3 in contrast with the few adult studies that may be encountered in the English literature. 4,7 To our knowledge there is no published study in which trends in the prevalence of nasal colonization have been explored on outpatients with type 1 DM. We hypothesized that MRSA colonization in children with type 1 DM differs from their adult counterparts, particularly with respect to clinical features and changes over time.…”

“…1 Prolonged length of hospital stay, recent history of hospitalization, regular nursing home contact (eg, nursing home residents), history of exposure to health careeassociated pathogens, diabetes mellitus (DM), and burns are established risk factors for nasal MRSA colonization. [1][2][3][4] Data on the epidemiology of MRSA in healthy Turkish individuals are limited, and available studies report on a low prevalence between 0.1% and 0.3%. 5,6 Nasal colonization rates in children and adolescents with type 1 DM have been evaluated in only 1 study, 3 in contrast with the few adult studies that may be encountered in the English literature.…”

Bioburden vs. Antibiogram of Diabetic Foot Infection

“…Among the GPCs isolated, Staphylococcus spp were predominant in our study. [17,18]. Among the GNBs, Enterobacteriaceae group of bacilli were more prevalent (40.4%) than Pseudomonas and other species.…”

Clinical course and management of postoperative methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus keratitis in immunocompromised patients: two case reports

“…Type 1 diabetes mellitus is known to be a strong risk factor for MRSA colonization and infection 13. Similarly, patients with multiple myeloma have decreased immunity to S. aureus , and may be susceptible to MRSA 14,15.…”
