摘要
We performed a prospective prevalence survey of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriage in the nares of 50 medical and 50 surgical house officers. None of the 50 internal medicine house officers and 5 of the 50 general surgery house officers had MRSA nares colonization (Pp. 03). None of the MRSA isolates recovered from the surgical house officers were identical. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2009; 30: 912-914
