Demonstrated an urgent requirement for screening protocols and preventive infection control measures in these settings.

Systematic review and meta-analysis reveals high MRSA colonization in elderly care residents, indicating the need for targeted screening.

Screening programs and preventive measures should target MRSA in ECCs due to the high global prevalence rates.
