Cases of MRSA down, but many more cases of C Diff in NHS hospitals

NHS urged to redouble efforts as MRSA infections show decline - Guardian

Extract:

"The government today calls on all NHS trusts to redouble their efforts against hospital infections which can kill fragile patients, as official figures reveal that MRSA appears to be slowly retreating but Clostridium difficile continues to rise.

Health minister Ann Keen warned trusts that patients must be treated in a clean and safe environment. "We know that cleanliness and infection control are of great concern to patients," she said.

The Health Protection Agency's statistics, published today, show a fall of 6.4% over the last quarter to March in the number of bloodstream infections of MRSA - the so-called superbug, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Compared with the same quarter last year this is a drop of 28%. Over the whole year, April 2006 to March 2007, MRSA cases have fallen 10% from 7,096 to 6,378.

But C difficile affects more people and is proving hard to tackle. There were 15,592 cases in English hospitals between January and March, an increase of 22% over the last quarter."
