Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Residents in nursing homes (NHs) always represent potential reservoirs for Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). To our knowledge, there is no epidemiological information up till now that describes the prevalence and molecular characteristics of S. aureus in nursing home residents in Shanghai, China. METHODS: Four hundred and ninety-one unique residents from 7 NHs were...
