新生儿重症监护病房内耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌感染

耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus，MRSA）是影响新生儿重症监护病房（neonatal intensive care unit，NICU）内早产儿和新生儿感染的一个常见原因。新生儿特别容易定植及感染MRSA，这可能与其生理特性和某些潜在的危险因素相关。此外，MRSA菌株的特性及其传播模式的改变也对NICU易感MRSA产生了一定的影响。尽管积极的预防措施和先进的诊疗手段已用于临床的治疗，但是MRSA仍是导致NICU发病率和死亡率较高的显著因素。

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection in neonatal intensive care units

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a common cause of infections affecting premature and critically ill infants in neonatal intensive care units. Neonates are particularly vulnerable to the colonization of and infection with MRSA, and this may be related to their physiological characteristics and some potential risk factors. In addition, the characteristics and changes of transmission patterns of MRSA strains have an impact on that NICU patients are more prone to be infected with MRSA. Active prevention measures and advanced diagnostic tools have been used in clinical treatment. Despite these interventions, MRSA remains a significant cause of morbidity in NICUs.
