Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infections: an Important Challenge after Disasters and Emergency

The risk of injury during and after the disaster is high and trauma may cause multi-microbial infections by sharp tearing inoculation. Methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an increasing challenge since 1961 in England and which also expanded around the world (1). B-lactamase bacteria spectrums particularly in immunocompromised hosts may be an important problem in routine hospital care. Therefore, the survivors of natural and manmade disasters should be exclusively kept in isolated contact during transport and hospitalization until the results of microbiological lab tests become available. The previous experience improved that an accurate diagnosis is necessary upon the admission, so the experimental antibiotic treatment should be avoided before the infections appeared in patients. In other words, the case of life- jeopardize infection, the antibiotic therapy should be coating an infectious agents (1). This commentary article aimed to study MRSA infections after disaster and to identify the methods for controlling and prevention of this new challenge after trauma. Infections are usual outcomes of disasters and victims need to be hospitalized due to the type of trauma and wound infections. Therefore, the public health control measures are required to prevent Multi-resistant bacterial infections (1). The lessons learned from last disasters showed no conducted preparedness training in health care providers and their capabilities in large-scale infectious injury response. For example in 2004 tsunami aspiration pneumonia and skin wound infections have been the most common infectious complications (2).
