Reservoirs and play a role in athlete infections. Surveillance studies indicated that locker rooms and weight rooms serve as MRSA Infections among the league’s high-profile players. Higher than that of the general population (0.005%), 9, 10 and MRSA was the cause of NFL players still experience a CA-MRSA infection prevalence that is almost 400-fold Although the results of the 2 surveys indicate decreased infection prevalence, A follow-up survey revealed 33 infections between 20 (1.9% infection Physician’s group survey reported that 60 MRSA infections occurred between 20Īmong players in the league, affecting 13 of the 30 teams, resulting in a 3.5% infection Is approximately 4-fold greater than that of the general student-athlete population 6 and increases throughout the football season. 3 For example, the occurrence of MRSA infections among high school football players 6 Involvement in contact sports is a clear risk factor for acquiring dermatologic MRSA. Infections among such athletes increased by over 12% between 20. High school and collegiate athletes, 13, 37 and the prevalence of MRSA 18 MRSA is responsible for 33% of infectious outbreaks reported among competitive Infections in the United States annually, 16 65% of which are caused by community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA). Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) causes over 80,000 Infills exhibited minimal toxicity to MRSA, while high relative toxicityĭrives limited MRSA availability in EPDM rubber infill. Our data also indicated that organic and sand Viable after exposure to polymer-coated materials, crumb rubber, TPE rubber,Īnd EPDM rubber, respectively. To cork infill and sands, while 79%, 71%, 68%, and 17% of MRSA remained Showed that over 90% of MRSA cells remained viable after 6 hours of exposure Postdeposition and for 24 hours on monofilament fibers. Remained available on slit-film and nylon fiber types for 12 hours Hours (thermoplastic elastomer rubber), and 27 hours (sands). Material), 9 hours (polymer-coated materials), 12 hours (crumb rubber), 13 Hours (ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber), 7 hours (cork-based Variable among infill groups ( P < 0.001), averaging 2 On average, MRSA was available for up to 96 hours on infill (averageĪ 50: 13 hours) and 24 hours on turf fibersĠ.001).
