We assessed characteristics associated with community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) carriage among residents of 22 nursing homes. Of MRSA-positive swabs, 25% (208/824) were positive for CA-MRSA. Median facility CA-MRSA percentage was 22% (range, 0%-44%). In multivariate models, carriage was associated with age less than 65 years (odds ratio, 1.2; P<.001) and Hispanic ethnicity (odds ratio, 1.2; P=.006). Interventions are needed to target CA-MRSA.
我们评估了 22 家养老院居民中与社区获得性耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(CA-MRSA)携带相关的特征。在 MRSA 阳性拭子中,25%(208/824)为 CA-MRSA 阳性。中位数设施 CA-MRSA 百分比为 22%(范围,0%-44%)。在多变量模型中,携带与年龄小于 65 岁(比值比,1.2;P<.001)和西班牙裔种族(比值比,1.2;P=.006)相关。需要采取干预措施来针对 CA-MRSA。
