Abstract:
With the development and wide application of antibiotics, the number of resistant strains keeps growing and there is a trend towards a higher isolation rate of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) year by year, accompanied by the increasing drug resistance.As reported in recent years, vancomycin resistant or intermediate staphylococcus aureus was isolated from different geographical regions.The prevalence of MRSA infection has become a serious public health problem, which is also the global focus in the medical field.This review focuses on the prevalence of MRSA colonization and infection, drug resistance mechanism,mode of transmission, prevention and efficacy in neonatal intensive care unit.
