Abstract:Background: Staphylococcus aureus primarily inhabits the human anterior nares. Asymptomatic Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) nasal carriage in healthcare professionals makes them potential MRSA reservoirs. Since identification and decolonization would promote cross-contamination reduction and curb communal transmission, this study was designed to identify MRSA nasal carriers among dental students and detect staphylococcal super antigenic determinants among them. Methods: Staphylococci isolate… Show more
