RESUMEN

In order to analyze the outcomes, clinical features, and resistance of Staphylococcus spp infections, a prospective cohort study was conducted at a 234-bed, tertiary care teaching hospital. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) infections were associated with increased mortality and length of hospital stay (LOS), whereas methicillin resistance (MRS) was correlated with prolonged LOS after infection. These data highlight the importance of infection control and antibiotic stewardship to prevent the emergence and spread of MRS and MDR health care-associated infections.
