Overview

Assessment reveals a 9.6% MRSA colonization rate among healthcare workers, indicating possible infection risks.

Key Points

  • MRSA was identified in 9.6% of healthcare workers, highlighting a significant public health concern.
  • The study found S. aureus in 28.84% of nasal samples, indicating the prevalence of bacterial colonization.
  • Standard bacteriological methods confirmed MRSA presence, utilizing the cefoxitin test and Kirby–Bauer method.
  • Higher prevalence of MRSA carriage was noted in clinical laboratories and optometry clinics, suggesting specific risks.
