S. aureus and MRSA Nasal Carriage in Dental Students: A Comprehensive Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA are important clinical pathogens representing a serious public health problem. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of S. methicillin-resistant (MRSA) nasal carriage among dental students, identify factors that influence this carriage, characterize MRSA. A 25.2% 0.86% was estimated, respectively, SCCmec Type VI, identified in all isolated The low colonization rate can reflect good infection control practices followed by students.
