MRSA/MRSP Management (for Nurses)

MRSA/MRSP Management (for Nurses)

Multi-drug resistant methicillin resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MDR MRSP) have been increasing in frequency since they were isolated in the late nineties. They have been more of an issue in Australia since 2013 and are now not uncommon, moreso in urban areas. Infections with MDR MRSP often do not respond to conventional antibiotics, and both recognition and treatment can be challenging. Since veterinary hospitals represent a significant risk factor for acquisition of methicillin-resistant staphylococci, it is up to the profession to try and prevent lateral spread of these bacteria between patients. This webinar will focus on both strategies applicable for this in the emergency medicine setting, and also the potential public health issues associated with MRS.
