Hi Christine
We treat all MRSA’s the same, regardless of antibiogram / labels. If it is Staph aureus that is resistant to di(flu)cloxacillin, it’s deemed an MRSA and managed exactly the same way here. We do report them to our Committee as multi or non-multi, as there are definitely different patterns of infectivity and different treatment options, but we consider all of them transmissible within the healthcare environment and thus managed accordingly.
Cheers
Michael
