We assessed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection and colonization in hospitalized prisoners. Of 434 admission surveillance cultures, 58 (13%) were positive for MRSA. The sensitivity of admission surveillance cultures of samples from the anterior nares was 72% and increased to 84% when the calculation included cultures of wound samples. Hospitalized prisoners are at high risk for MRSA infection and colonization, and surveillance should include cultures of nares and wound samples.
我们评估了住院囚犯中耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（MRSA）的感染和定植情况。在434份入院监测培养样本中，58份（13%）MRSA呈阳性。前鼻孔样本入院监测培养的敏感性为72%，若将伤口样本培养计算在内，敏感性则升至84%。住院囚犯有较高的MRSA感染和定植风险，监测应包括鼻孔和伤口样本培养。
