Prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from burn patients in Iran: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Conclusions The results of this study indicate that the prevalence of MRSA among burn patients is very high in Iran. Thus, a comprehensive infection control strategy based on hand hygiene, education and training in antibiotic prescribing, environmental cleaning, contact precautions, good antibiotic stewardship and an active surveillance system on the basis of international criteria is urgently needed.
