Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of surgical wound infections. To obtain contemporary data on S aureus, we performed a prospective study of colonization and infection in children scheduled for elective surgical procedures. METHODS:A nasal swab and clinical information were obtained at the presurgical outpatient visit. At operation, nasal and perianal swabs were obtained. S aureus were isolated and characterized. RESULTS:We enrolled 499 patients from June 2005 to April 2007. Wound classes were 1 (73%), 2 (22%), 3 (5%), and 4 (0.2%). Prophylactic antibiotics were administered for 153 (31%). Postoperative length of stay ranged from 0 (77%) to 6 days, with 19 (4%) staying 4 days or more. Screening cultures grew S aureus for 186 procedures (36.6%); of these, 141 were methicillin-resistant S aureus (MRSA) (76% of all staphylococcal cultures or 28% of all procedures). Most MRSA had Staphylococcal Chromosomal Cassette mec type II and resistance to clindamycin-typical for hospital-associated strains. There were 10 (2%) surgical site infections, including 4 methicillin-sensitive S aureus, 1 MRSA, 2 with no growth, and 2 with no cultures. CONCLUSION:Methicillin-resistant S aureus colonization was common in asymptomatic children. Most strains appeared to be health care-associated and resistant to clindamycin. Wound infection rate remained low despite the high prevalence of staphylococcal colonization.
