MRSA strains were first isolated in 1981 and have increased markedly from 1985 in our surgical ward. One hundred and ninety four strains of MRSA were isolated and 81 cases developed critical infections which were associated with enterocolitis, pneumonia and sepsis. There were many cases in esophageal cancer patients. Bacteriological features of the MRSA strains clearly changed in 1985 from IV to II coagulase type, accompanied with high resistance for antibiotics. Our management against nosocomial infection for MRSA started from April 1988. The number of MRSA cases decreased in 1989, increased in 1990 and decreased again in 1991. We are confident that our management is effective and we will take further efforts to choose the most adequate antibiotics after surgery in our surgical ward.
