Abstract:
The transmission and infection of
Staphylococci are significant public health issues.Recently,the role of environment in
Staphylococci transmission among people has been confirmed,and the crowding of public places has facilitated the spread of
Staphylococci among population.Thus,the study summarized the contamination level,characteristics of SCC
mec types,antibiotics resistance patterns and homology analysis of
Staphylococci in public areas at home and abroad.Many studies confirmed that buses,trains,subways,recreational beaches,automatic teller machines,campuses and parks are reservoirs of
Staphylococci.The resistance to antibiotics is alarming,especially for penicillin.Methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)isolates are from both communities and hospitals.Cluster analyses of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis(PFGE)suggested the risks of environment-human cross transmission.Daily surveillance and disinfection of
Staphylococci,especially MRSA,are necessary in the future for the prevention and control of the spread of
Staphylococci.
