pathogenicity of nasal staph, pseudomonas

[Guest guest]

I dont know that MRSA is more pathogenic than any other SA... I

wouldnt expect it is. This finding suggests SA is common as a

harmless commensal in the nose:

PURPOSE: Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of invasive

infections, yet most assessments of prevalence are based on health

care-based samples. We computed population-based estimates of nasal

carriage of S aureus and risk factors for carriage, as well as

population-based estimates of nasal carriage of methicillin-

resistant S aureus (MRSA). METHODS: We used the National Health and

Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001-2002 to estimate carriage

of S aureus and MRSA for the non-institutionalized US population

including children and adults. RESULTS: An estimated 86.9 million

persons (32.40% of the population) were colonized with S aureus. The

prevalence of MRSA among S aureus isolates was 2.58%, for an

estimated population carriage of MRSA of 0.84% or 2.2 million

persons. Among individuals with S aureus isolates, individuals aged

65 years or older had the highest MRSA prevalence (8.28%). Among all

the racial/ethnic groups studied, Hispanics had the highest

prevalence of colonization with S aureus but, when colonized, were

less likely to have MRSA. CONCLUSIONS: This first nationally

representative assessment of carriage of S aureus indicates that

nearly one third of the population is currently colonized by this

organism. Although the prevalence of MRSA remains low, more than 2.2

million people carry this resistant organism; thus, vigilance in

promoting appropriate microbial transmission protocols should remain

a priority.
