Search for: [Abstract = "Hospital infections are an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially if the etiological factor is drug\-resistant microorganisms, and concems the population of the most vulnerable patients. The conducted research allowed to describe in detail the epidemiology of infections with S.aureus aetiology m southem Poland. Epidemiological analysis was carried out in vanous analytical areas, such as\: type of care, population, clinical form of infection. Multicentre studies on nosocomial infections covered orthopaedic patients, newboms and long\-term care residents. The PFGE typing was subjected to strains from neonatal and resident infections. Strains isolated from newboms were typed by the spa\-typing method and the SCCmec chromosomal cassette was determined. As a result of the research it was found\: \(1\) significantly higher incidence rate after knee prosthesis, while epidemiology and microbiology after the implementation of infections surveillance in hip arthroplasty did not differ from that expected\; \(2\) in neonatology, horizontal transmission of MRSA strains\; high consumption of glycopeptides in the treatment of MSSA \(3\) The presence of MRSA in locals is significantly associated with limited mobility\: the Barthel scales can be used as a determinant of MRSA colonization in targeted screening \(4\) strong interpenetration of the community and"]
