【 摘 要 】

IntroductionMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is amongthe most important pathogens of nosocomial infections, mainly in intensive care units(ICUs), and accounts for 40-60% of all healthcare-associated S.aureus infections. We evaluated the incidence of nosocomial infection by S.aureus, identified the risk factors for MRSA infection, and evaluated the effect ofresistance to methicillin on mortality in patients.
