Current methods in diagnostics, treatment and prevention of infection caused by methicilin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
Korejsová, Erika ; Konečná, Klára (advisor) ; Vejsová, Marcela (referee)
Candidate: Erika Korejsová Supervisor: Mgr. Klára Konečná, Ph.D. Consultant: MUDr. Marie Smolíková Title: Current methods in diagnostics, treatment and prevention of infection caused by methicilin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Bachelor thesis Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Biological and Medical Sciences Study field: Medical Bioanalytics Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that is found in the nasal mucosa of healthy people (20-40%) and skin without causing disease. Under certain circumstances, such as damage or injury of skin, mucous membranes and in immuno-incompetent individuals, the MRSA infection can originate. Therefore, hospitalized patients are much more susceptible to this infection. The biggest dangers represent MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) strains. These strains of Staphylococcus aureus are mostly multi-resistant, where in addition to resistance to oxacillin (methicillin), resistence to other antibiotik occurs as well. Treatment of these patients is problematic, because MRSA strains are extensively resistant and persist in the organism and in the environment. Their eradication is not simple. The patient's blood reinfection often occurs due to low levels of antibiotics. It means a considerable financial...
