Abstrakt		Methicillin-resistant Staphylooccus aureus has been responsible for major epidemics in tertiary care hospitals and also in chronic care facilities. Moreover, the existence of a pool of untreated carriers in the community, who may re-introduce the organism into the hospital at the time of admission, may complicate the control of nosocomial outbreaks. Vancomycin-resistant enterococci has had a major impact in the USA. The extensive use of vancomycin has been shown to be responsible for the emergance of vancomycin-resistant enterococci, the prevention and treatment of which represent major problems. The evaluation of the efficacy of new entibiotic combinations or new compounds is still in process.
Izvleček		Na meticilin odporni Staphiloccocus aureus je večkrat povzročitelj epidemij v kliničnih bolnišnicah in ustanovah, kjer negujejo kronično bolne. Obstoj "poola" nezdravljenih nosilcev v skupnosti, ki lahko ob sprejemu v bolnišnico mikroorganizem ponovno prenesejo v to okolje, znatno otežuje nadzor nad bolnišničnimi epidemijami. Na vankomicin odporni enterokoki so postali v ZDA pomemben problem. Za pojav odpornih sevov enterokokov je verjetno odgovorna prevelika uporaba vankomicina, preprečevanje in zdravljenje okužb z njimi pa predstavlja velik problem. Učinkovitost novih antibiotikov in kombinacij le-teh oziroma novih substanc še ni potrjena.
