Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus in both patients and the ICU environment of a teaching hospital, finding a colonization rate of 13.4% in patients and 12.4% in the environment.
- The research reveals a high rate of multidrug resistance (82.4%) among the isolates, with specific focus on methicillin-resistant strains (20.6%) and intermediate resistance to vancomycin detected as well.
- Genetic analysis indicates that identical strains were found across different patients and environmental samples, suggesting the spread of resistant bacteria in the ICU setting.
