Résumé

Compared with a similar 2005 study, this 2016 study showed a significant decrease from 22% to 3% in the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus nasal colonization in children admitted to our facility. Of the sampled 360 children, 21% were colonized with S. aureus and 14% of those isolates were methicillin-resistant S. aureus, whereas 61% of the isolates in 2005 were methicillin-resistant S. aureus.
