| Research Abstract |
Healthy children during the three years from 2008 to 2010 (total 384 persons), college students (278), infection control nurse (58) conducted a survey of staphylococci carriaged in the nasal cavity. In healthy children and adults were methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carrier approximately 1%, Whereas rate of resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MRC-NS) were 38.5%, 15.3% and 77.5%, respectively. Especially the increase of MRSA was not observed in the community.
