 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 19 Nosocomial outbreak of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus epidemic monitoring [Abstract] in recent decades, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) detection rate of increase, some hospitals can be an outbreak of nosocomial epidemic. The long-term hospitalization, repeated use of broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents, burns or wounds of patients and with patients with MRSA colonization or infection caused by contact with both risk factors for nosocomial MRSA epidemic. MRSA colonization or infection of hospital personnel and hospital epidemic caused by environmental pollution is the main source. Hand-washing and isolation is the basic control measures, strict MRSA epidemiological investigation, clear the MRSA sources, rational use of antimicrobial agents and universal education is to control the epidemic of nosocomial MRSA important adjunct. [Keywords:] Hospital infection; Staphylococcus aureus; antibacterial drugs; epidemiological survey; Infection Control First reported in 1961, the British first strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), 1968 first reported the U.S. MRSA, after decades of fast spread around the world. The 20th century the United States of Staphylococcus aureus nosocomial MRSA accounts for about 20% to 25% [1,2], our 70 years reporting from Shanghai for the 20th century, Staphylococcus aureus MRSA accounts for about 5%, from 1985 to 1988 in Shanghai and Beijing and other areas 10% ~ 24%, from 1994 to 1996, up from 50% to 77.9% [3], in 2001 China’s national survey reported that 40% fluctuation between 90% [4], Belgium, reported that fluctuations of 1.6% ~ 62.4 %, indicating that parts of the world have different degrees of growth, and even between the various hospital wards will also be a significant difference [2]. 30% ~ 60% MRSA colonization of patients will be complicated by subsequent infection, MRSA epidemic occurs when a sector, then the incidence of nosocomial MRSA infe
