摘要: Among hospital-associated infections, healthcare-associated central nervous system infections are quite important because of high morbidity and mortality rates. The causative agents meningitis differ according to the status immune systems underlying diseases. most frequent Gram-negative bacilli (Pseudomonas spp., Acinetobacter Escherichia coli Klebsiella pneumoniae) Gram-positive cocci (Staphylococcus aureus coagulase-negative staphylococci). There currently several problems in treatment strategies due a globally increasing resistance problem. Strategies targeting multidrug-resistant pathogens especially limited. This review focuses on current with particular focus methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus (MRSA) meningitis.
