Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether clinical exposure in the hospital affects nasal carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among medical students. METHODS: A total of 322 medical students, both pre-clinical (n=167) and clinical (n=155), were recruited. Specimens were obtained from the nares of the subjects for the detection of S. aureus. A questionnaire was completed for each subject. All...
