摘要
There are 132,000 cases of colonization or infection caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) documented annually in German hospitals. Therefore, MRSA is one of the most frequent multiresistant microorganisms isolated from patients with healthcare-associated infections. Recently, the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) estimated that MRSA causes an attributable financial burden of 380 million EUR for the EU healthcare systems. Consequently, the prevention of MRSA is a major goal. Although there is increasing evidence supporting the effectiveness some preventive interventions (screening, isolation, eradication) with respect to their ability to reduce MRSA, there is an on-going discussion about the cost effectiveness of these measures. In this article, financial aspects associated with MRSA are described and an overview of the current knowledge about the cost effectiveness of several key measures proposed for MRSA prevention is provided.
