Welcome to the Nordic MRSA website.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Visit the Nordic MRSA map ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This website provides a geographical
overview of easily comparable epidemiological typing data
of methicillin
resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from notified new cases,
infected
as well as colonized.
The data are submitted by the national
Staphylococcus Reference Laboratories (SRLs) in the Nordic
countries
Presently, the data include date and place of sampling for each new MRSA case,
presence of genes
indicative of Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL), spa type (Ridom
nomenclature),
(http://
The spa type distributions are shown on a map (http://https://nrar.shinyapps.io/nordicmrsa/...).
Place of sampling is shown on an aggregated level by using GIS
coordinates representing either the country (Iceland),
hospital district
(Finland), a county (Sweden), hospital or city hall, depending on whether the
isolates were found
in a hospital or outside (Norway and Denmark).
The website is intended
primarily for use in national and cross border surveillance, but may also be of
help for local infection control.
