This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of nasal carriage of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and its Mupirocin resistance in health care providers (HCPs). Sterile swabs from the anterior nares of the HCPs were collected and then transported to the Microbiology laboratory for processing. The Staphylococcus aureus () isolates were tested for Methicillin resistance on Mueller Hinton agar using Cefoxitin disc (30ug) by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method. | A prospective study estimating the mupirocin resistance in health care providers with MRSA nasal carriage in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Rural South India
