Abstract		Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has become a major nosocomial pathologen in hospitals and is increasingly important in long-term-care facilities. The epidemiology and microbiology of MRSA is reviewed. NRSA is usually introduced into an institution by a colonized or infected patient. The principal made of transmission is via the transpatient. The principal mode of transmission is via the transiently colonized hands of hospital personnel. A major reservoir is the nose of the health care workers and presents the source of endemic MRSA in hospitals. In addition, infection control measures are presented for acute-care hospitals and intensive care units.
Summary		Na meticilin odporni Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) je postal eden glavnih povzročiteljev okužb v bolnišnicah in postaja vedno pomembnejši tudi v domovih za ostarele. V članku so predstavljeni epidemiološki podatki in opisane mikrobiološke značilnosti MRSA. Praviloma se epidemija z MRSA začne s sprejemom koloniziranega ali okuženega bolnika. Zdravstveno osebje s predhodno koloniziranimi rokami nato MRSA prenese nase in na druge bolnike. Nos osebja predstavlja glavni rezervoar in vir za endemično pojavljanje MRSA v bolnišnici. V nadaljevanju so prikazani ukrepi za nadzor okužb v bolnišnicah in na intenzivnih oddelkih.
