Abstract

Overall prevalence of nasopharyngeal methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriage in Grand Magal de Touba pilgrims was 5.2% by PCR and 2.6% acquired carriage following participation in the event. Given the potential for globalization of pathogens, surveillance is crucial to implementing timely interventions and protecting public health during the mass gathering.
