Abstract

There are limited long-term data on the trends in incidence and characteristics of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia (MRSAB) in intensive care units (ICUs) in which infection control measures have been adopted. We evaluated the trend of incidence and changes in characteristics of MRSA bacteremia in ICUs at a tertiary-care hospital over 10 years using prospective cohort data. ICU-acquired bacteremia was defined as S. aureus bacteremia (SAB) that occurred 48 h or more after ICU admission.
