Abstract
We describe the epidemiology ofStaphylococcus aureuscolonization among 200 healthcare workers. The prevalence ofS. aureuswas 28%, and the prevalence of methicillin-resistantS. aureus(MRSA) was 2%. The incidence of MRSA colonization was extremely low. This study suggests that the risk of MRSA transmission to healthcare workers is low in a hospital where MRSA is endemic.
