متن کاملPrevalence of nasal Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in hospital personnel and associated risk factors.
Hospital- and community-acquired Staphylococcus aureus infections pose a substantial burden in terms of morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. The extent of nosocomial S. aureus transmission, in particular methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), the prevalence of S. aureus colonization in healthy personnel working in hospital was determined. Factors associated with S. aureus nasal carriage ...
