Abstract/Description
The Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) infections have increased dramatically over the past decades and are the most common cause of skin and soft tissue infections. MRSA is among the most prevalent pathogens causing healthcare-associate and nosocomial infections. Efforts have been made to reduce MRSA infections in healthcare settings across the globe. The goal of this project is to explore the recent evidence-based findings from the well−designed scientific studies. This poster presents new findings for reducing and preventing MRSA infections in healthcare settings. The recommendations made with current evidence-based guidelines for policy revision at the healthcare facilities are presented.
