Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and glycopeptide-resistant Enterococcus (GRE) are multidrugresistant organisms and are particularly frequent causes of HA infections that often prove difficult and expensive to treat. Major sources of MRSA and GRE causing infections are either the patient’s own floras (endogenous infection), those acquired from another person (cross-infection), or those from substances recently… CONTINUE READING
