| Abstract: | Abstract Objectives We determined the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) nasal carriage upon hospital discharge, among children who were screened at admission for nasal S. aureus carriage between January 2020 and January 2023. We also aimed to evaluate the prevalence of MRSA carriers without the standard risk factors. Methods We conducted an observational study to determine the prevalence of MRSA nasal carriage among patients who were screened at the time of admission for nasal S. aureus carriage January 2020 and January 2023. All samples were cultured using chromogenic agar plates. Results In total, 702 nasal swabs were obtained from 2826 patients. Overall, S. aureus was detected in 105/702 patients of whom 61 were MRSA. Results of the questionnaire revealed that 18 of the 97 patients (%) had no known risk factors for MRSA carriage (%; 95% CI–%). Conclusion Our study revealed a very high prevalence of MRSA carriage upon hospital admission over a 3 years period. This calls for a restrictive antibiotic prescription policy. |
