The ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index links the below-listed medical terms to the ICD code B95.62. Click on any term below to browse the alphabetical index.
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code B95.62 and a single ICD9 code, 041.12 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
B95.62 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus infection as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere. The code B95.62 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code B95.62 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like bacteremia, bacteremia caused by gram-positive bacteria, bacteremia due to methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus, bacteremia due to staphylococcus aureus, community-acquired methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus infection , meningitis caused by methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus, etc.#N#The code B95.62 describes a circumstance which influences the patient's health status but not a current illness or injury. The code is unacceptable as a principal diagnosis.
The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code. Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere.
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code B95.62 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
Antibiotics are medicines that fight bacterial infections. Used properly, they can save lives. But there is a growing problem of antibiotic resistance. It happens when bacteria change and become able to resist the effects of an antibiotic.
Also called: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. MRSA stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It causes a staph infection (pronounced "staff infection") that is resistant to several common antibiotics. There are two types of infection. Hospital-associated MRSA happens to people in health care settings.

Keep cuts and scrapes clean and covered with a bandage until healed. Avoid contact with other people's wounds or bandages. Avoid sharing personal items, such as towels, washcloths, razors, or clothes. Wash soiled sheets, towels, and clothes in hot water with bleach and dry in a hot dryer.
Staphylococcus epidermidis is an emerging nosocomial pathogen. Due to its increasing incidence in many countries of the world it is a burning issue now a day. There is marked geographic variation in prevalence of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis. Though it as is an endogenous human skin flora, it is therefore easily transmissible in the hospital environment well as in a community. Skin of patients and health care workers, medical equipment, clothing of personnel and environment surfaces can be sources of antibiotic-resistant S. epidermidis strains. This opportunistic pathogen causing different types of infections linked to implanted medical devices especially in immunocompromised patients. Early and specific diagnosis is important to ensure a favourable outcome. So Staphylococcus epidermidis found in culture should not always be ignored as contaminant and proper medical treatment and preventive guidelines should be applied against this alarming pathogen.

Six auxillary genes known as fem (factor essential for methicillin resistance) exist, namely femA, femB, femC, femD, femE, and femF. They are involved in the synthesis of peptidoglycan and are required for the correct formation of the cell wall.
The antistaphylococcal penicillins are resistant to hydrolysis by most staphylococcal β-lactamases by virtue of a substituted side chain that acts by steric hindrance at the site of enzyme attachment. Most penicillinase-producing staphylococci are inhibited by 2.5 to 5μg/mL or less of methicillin and by 0.5μg/mL or less of nafcillin and oxacillin. 175 Currently, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains constitute a relatively common cause of infection outbreaks in some nurseries, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) strains are an important cause of catheter-associated disease, particularly among low-birth-weight premature infants. These challenging isolates possess altered PBPs with low affinity for binding to antistaphylococcal penicillins and cephalosporins. 176 Glycopeptide antibiotics such as vancomycin or teicoplanin are the drugs of choice for infections caused by these resistant strains. The topical antimicrobial agent mupirocin has been used successfully to eradicate MRSA strains from sites of the newborn body colonized with these strains and to prevent their spread to other infants. 177 In addition, tolerant staphylococci (with an MBC greater than five times the MIC) have been described. 178 Infections caused by these uncommon staphylococcal isolates may require combined therapy with aminoglycosides or rifampin or the use of vancomycin alone.
Like the beta-lactam antibiotics, vancomycin displays a time-dependent bactericidal activity in which bacterial killing is maximized at time above the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the organism at 40–50% of a given dosing interval [ 4,5 ].
These antibiotics included the parenteral antibiotics, nafcillin, methicillin, and oxacillin, and the oral antibiotics, cloxacillin, dicloxacillin, nafcillin, and oxacillin.
Vancomycin is administered only by slow intravenous infusion for at least 1 hour. Although, vancomycin injection is much purer it may still cause an ana phylactoid reaction known as ‘red man's syndrome’ or ‘red neck syndrome.’.
