摘要
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) represents a rare but significant cause of nosocomial infections and outbreaks as hospital-acquired MRSA (haMRSA) in children with certain risk factors. In addition, community-acquired MRSA (caMRSA) is responsible for skin and soft tissue infections and transmission between family members has been documented. This review discusses recent studies regarding screening, infection control and decolonization efforts related to MRSA in children. Valid data from controlled studies are still lacking for many important questions with respect to the management of MRSA in children.
