耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)是全球范围内大量耐药感染的病原菌。了解流行病学和确定MRSA的分子特征对于设计感染控制计划以最大限度地减少与这些感染相关的风险是必不可少的。不同地理区域的耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌的流行率不同。在埃及，这样的知识很少，只有有限数量的孤立研究报告了该国部分地区的MRSA感染率。这项工作总结了少数已发表的描述埃及MRSA流行率和类型的报告。
Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is responsible for a large number of antibiotic resistant infections worldwide. Understanding the epidemiology and identifying the molecular characteristics of MRSA is elemental in designing infection control plans to minimize the risks associated with these infections. The prevalence of MRSA varies between the different geographic regions. In Egypt, such knowledge is sparse, with a limited number of isolated studies reporting the infection rate of MRSA in select parts of the country. This work summarizes the few published reports that described MRSA prevalence and types in Egypt.
