摘要：
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was searched in thirty stethoscopes. The instruments were submitted to two different enrichment procedures. MRSA was detected in 70% of the stethoscopes. The best results were obtained in enrichment broth containing 4% NaCl, incubated at 30 degrees C during 48 hours. The influence of the bacteriological procedure on the detection of MRSA ii stethoscopes is stressed.
