Welcome to the Nordic MRSA website.




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://
spaserver.ridom.de/) and MLST clonal complex (CC; inferred from spa-type/s).
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.
