“…Previous reports have noted a growing concern regarding MRSA infections within some community populations, particularly in children (4,5) and those with dermatological disorders, renal dysfunction, or HIV infection (6,7,9). The clear relationship between the rates of MRSA infection among inpatients and outpatients demonstrated here illustrates that MRSA infections are no longer confined to hospitals and are certainly present in the community.…”

“… 35–37 Compared to those surveys, our results showed that MRSA-positive rates (10.0%) of nasal flora among healthcare workers (20 patients) were significantly high. Atopic dermatitis is also known to be likely colonised with S. aureus and MRSA (70–80% and 11–23%, respectively), 38 39 and the higher severity of atopic dermatitis is associated with S. aureus colonisation. 40 This result was also consistent with the findings in previously published papers.…”

ObjectivesTo investigate bacterial flora of clinically healthy conjunctiva and nasal cavity among patients prior to refractive surgery, as well as the characteristics of patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonisation.DesignObservational and cross-sectional study.SettingA single-centre study in Japan.Participants120 consecutive patients pre-refractive surgery.Primary and secondary outcome measures methodsSamples were obtained from the right conjunctival sac and the nasal cavity of 120 consecutive patients prior to refractive surgery and were then measured for the levels of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics. Patients were interviewed regarding their occupation, family living situation and any personal history of atopic dermatitis, asthma, smoking or contact lens wear.ResultsPropionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) (32.5%) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (4.2%) were detected from the conjunctival sac. S. epidermidis was the most commonly isolated (68.3%) in the nasal cavity. Of the 30 patients (25.0%) with colonisation by S. aureus, 2 patients, both of whom were healthcare workers with atopic dermatitis, were found to be positive for MRSA in the nasal cavity. A history of contact lens wear, asthma or smoking, as well as patient gender and age, was not associated with MRSA colonisation.ConclusionsThere were only 2 patients who were colonised with MRSA, both of whom were healthcare workers with atopic dermatitis. P. acnes was predominantly found in the conjunctival sac. Further study is needed to investigate the involvement between nasal and conjunctival flora, and risk factors for infectious complications.
