The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the MRSA bundle approach in reducing MRSA infections or colonizations in a surgical ICU of a university hospital in Korea
MRSA nosocomial infections developed in 21 patients (6.8%) during the pre-intervention period: the nosocomial infection rate of MRSA was 8.4 cases per 1,000 patient-days
Summary
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) accounts for more than 70% of S. aureus isolates from tertiary hospital in Korea. The MRSA bundle approach has been reported more effective than a single intervention to reduce MRSA in several studies
