Purpose To determine the prevalence of multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria in a cohort of pregnant refugee women. Methods In a prospective case control study, surveillance cultures for MDR bacteria (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus [MRSA], vancomycin-resistant enterococci [VRE], MDR Gram-negative bacteria [MRGN]) were analysed between October 2015 and June 2016 from a cohort of 50 pregnant refugee women and 50 resident controls in the obstetric unit of a German tertiary referral…

Vaginal colonization with antimicrobial-resistant bacteria among women in labor in central Uganda: prevalence and associated factors
TLDR
The prevalence of colonization with potentially pathogenic and clinically important AMR bacteria, in addition to multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, defined as bacteria resistant to antibiotics from ≥ 3 antibiotic classes, is calculated.
Travel and the Spread of Drug-Resistant Bacteria
TLDR
The importance of travel on a variety of clinically relevant drug-resistant bacterial organisms including extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteria, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella species, as well as other enteric infections is described.
Staphylococcus aureus: An Overview of Discovery, Characteristics, Epidemiology, Virulence Factors and Antimicrobial Sensitivity Short Title: Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus: An overview
TLDR
The circulation of MRSA between health settings and communities resulted in changing even the genetic map for the strains in both places, which increased the challenge in treating the infections caused by bacteria especially methicillin resistant S. aureus strains.
Antimicrobial resistance in the protracted Syrian conflict: halting a war in the war.
TLDR
The current situation of the Syrian displaced population, and AMR inside Syria and among refugees in host countries, is explored, and a roadmap of selected key interventions and strategies to address the threat of AMR in the context of the Syria crisis is suggested.

Comparative Evaluation of MRSA Nasal Colonization Epidemiology in the Urban and Rural Secondary School Community of Kurdistan, Iraq
TLDR
It was found that the S. aureus carriage rate was higher in urban districts compared to rural areas while more MRSA were found in rural areas compared to urban districts and living in Rural areas increased the odds of MRSA colonization.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Europe: which infection control measures are taken?
TLDR
The data obtained regarding MRSA prevention measures should stimulate infection control professionals to pursue further initiatives and particularly, the vigorous MRSA management in countries with decreasing MRSA proportions should encourage hospitals to implement preventive measures in order to reduce the spread of MRSA.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus multiple sites surveillance: a systemic review of the literature
TLDR
A combination of three swabs from different body sites resulted in the highest detection rate for MRSA colonization, which may in turn reduce infection and transmission of MRSA to other patients.

Control of the spread of vancomycin-resistant enterococci in hospitals: epidemiology and clinical relevance.
TLDR
The chain of infection can be broken by improved and consistently applied standard hygienic measures (hand and surface disinfection) and in specific clinical situations, the optimal protection of patients against VRE infection demands the obligatory enforcement of stricter hygious measures (contact isolation).
The stigmatization dilemma in public health policy-the case of MRSA in Denmark
TLDR
It is argued that using stigmatization as a direct means to achieve public health outcomes is almost always ethically illegitimate and that interventions where stigmatization is a side-effect need to fulfil requirements of proportionality.
Comparison of mortality associated with methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia: a meta-analysis.
TLDR
A meta-analysis was performed to summarize the impact of methicillin-resistance on mortality in Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia and explored the reasons for heterogeneity by means of subgroup analyses.
