Abstract
In this prospective study, we investigated if methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization is inhibited in Birth weights of infants below birth weight by nonpathogenic bacteria in the oral cavity and Immunoglobulin A at high concentrations. In a Children's Care Hospital, an analysis of 58 preterm infants with a birth weight of 1500 g was performed retrospectively to determine whether they had colonized with MRSA while hospitalized. To determine the prevalence of MRSA colonization in infants with nonpathogenic bacterial flora and high IgA levels (>2 mg/dL) in their oral cavity, 24 babies with either were compared to 34 babies without either. Infants with high immunoglobulin A levels and non-pathogenic bacterial There was a significant reduction in MRSA colonization among the flora (P < 0.01). According to the results, high immunoglobulin A levels and non-pathogenic bacterial flora. It is possible that the oral cavity protects infants with very low birth weight from MRSA colonization.
