Fifty-three strains of Staphylococcus were isolated from the entrance hall of the dispensary at the university hospital. The frequencies of S. aureus, MRSA in S. aureus, and DMPPC-resistant strains in all the strains of Staphylococcus isolated were 17%, 22% and 30%, respectively. In relation to our previous studies, these results fall between those from healthy individuals and those from a hospital ward.
Key words: epidemiology; methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA); nosocomial infection
