RESUMO
In a study of university students, the percentage nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus was 40.8 percent (102/250). Of the isolates, MIC50 of methicillin was 0.5 µg/mL and MIC90 was 1 µg/mL. Six (5.8 percent) isolates were methicillin-resistant and carried the mecA gene. These results suggest that community-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus may be spreading in Brazil.
