Low prevalence of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus carriage at hospital admission: implications for risk-factor-based vs universal screening.

The Journal of hospital infection - 1 Feb 2013

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: There is debate over the optimal policy for detecting meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization at hospital admission. The emergence of community-associated (CA)-MRSA may compromise targeted screening strategies based on risk factors for healthcare-associated (HA)-MRSA. AIM: To determine the prevalence of MRSA colonization at admission, and the genotype and molecular epidemiology...
