Zusammenfassung

Staphylococcus aureus ist ein fakultativ pathogener Keim, der vornehmlich in der vorderen Nasenhöhle zu finden ist. 20–40% der gesunden Kinder sind mit S. aureus besiedelt, Methicillin-resistente S. aureus (MRSA)-Trägerraten in Deutschland sind bisher noch gering. Kolonisierungsraten variieren in verschiedenen Altersgruppen. Steigende S. aureus- und MRSA-Trägerraten lassen einen Anstieg der S. aureus-Infektionen auch bei Kindern erwarten. Daher ist eine genaue Kenntnis der regionalen und nationalen Träger- und Resistenzraten für die Therapie von S. aureus-Infektionen unerlässlich.

Summary

Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen. The anterior nares are their primary reservoir. 20–40% of healthy children are colonized with S. aureus, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriage rates still remained low. Carriage rates differ between different age groups. Increasing carriage rates of S. aureus and MRSA could be an indicator of increasing staphylococcal infections in children. Therefore a precise knowledge of regional and national carriage and resistance rates are of major importance for the therapy of S. aureus infections.
