| Popis: | Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) stand out as one of the main agents causing nosocomial and community infections. This retrospective study aimed to analyze the MRSA predominance in a university hospital in the south of Brazil and it was carried out for five years (from 2007 to 2011). 616 MRSA (33,3% of the total) were isolated and an important reduction in the MRSA predominance was observed along the study. Although it was registered a reduction in the MRSA predominance, male adult patients (41-70 years old), who were in the Medical Clinic and Adult ICU, had the highest infection rates and concerning MRSA isolates rates, these were higher in blood and tracheal aspirates. In conclusion, studies of this type are becoming relevant to recognize pathogens like MRSA and to determine its predominance. Staphylococcus aureus resistentes à meticilina (MRSA) destacam-se mundialmente como um dos mais frequentes patógenos nosocomiais e comunitários. Este estudo retrospectivo teve por objetivo analisar a prevalência de MRSA em um hospital universitário no sul do Brasil. Durante cinco anos (2007 a 2011), 616 MRSA (33,3% do total de S. aureus) foram isolados, sendo que sua frequência de isolamento apresentou considerável redução no decorrer do estudo. Nossos resultados demonstraram que as maiores taxas de isolamento dos MRSA ocorreram em amostras de sangue e secreção traqueal. As infecções prevaleceram em pacientes adultos (41 a 70 anos), do sexo masculino, internados na Clínica Médica e UTI adulto. Estudos como este se tornam importantes para o reconhecimento de patógenos resistentes, como o MRSA, e para a determinação da sua prevalência. |
