Abstract

Abstract:Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is currently one of the nosocomial pathogens with the greatest impact on nosocomial infections. This bacterial resistance is encoded by the mecA gene. The objective of this work was to carry out a systematic bibliographic search related to the presence of MRSA in health personnel using multiple databases, articles from the last ten years were chosen and that show a relationship with the presence of MRSA in health personnel. The results indicate the presence of the pathogen in 10% of health personnel, being more frequent among doctors and nurses. The areas with the highest prevalence were the intensive care unit, emergencies and intensive therapy. In this way, it is shown that the human resource that works in health homes becomes a risk group to be colonized or infected with MRSA, which allows them to act as active reservoirs for the dissemination of this bacterium. The use of prophylactic measures during work in health homes is the main key to prevent the spread of these bacteria.
