MRSA Sepsis
Methicillin-resistant S aureus (MRSA) first became prevalent in the 1970s. Until the late 1990s, MRSA infections in the community were restricted to individuals in long-term care facilities, intravenous drug abusers, or those recently hospitalized. Implementing a standard for managing MRSA infections in long-term facilities, according to some experts, could help reduce the number of MRSA infections that are spread.
MRSA is part of a strain of Staphylococcus aureus. This becomes especially clinically important when it infects wounds, the respiratory system, or the urinary tract. A resident that is symptomatic, and the MRSA is isolated from the urine, should be evaluated for the possibility of sepsis. MRSA sepsis is usually treated with IV vancomycin, but sometimes the MRSA sepsis is treated with trimethoprim/sulfa. The MRSA sepsis treatments should also include daily bathing with chlorhexidine and application of mupirocin ointment twice a day to the anterior nares for the duration of a full week.
