A 10-year retrospective study of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from burn wound infection in southeast China from 2013 to 2022.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most commonly encountered pathogens among burn patients incurring substantial morbidity and mortality. To investigate the epidemiology and features of MRSA in burn wound infections, we conducted a 10-year retrospective study on MRSA isolated from burn patients with burn wound infections from southeast China from 2013 to 2022.

Methods

One hundred MRSA isolates (10 isolates each year) from burn wound infection among burn patients from 2013 to 2022 were randomly selected and enrolled. In addition to the clinical data of the 100 burn patients, MRSA isolates were characterized by antimicrobial susceptibility testing, detection of toxin genes, and molecular typing.
