Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage among homeless population in Lisbon, Portugal
Conceição, T; Martins, H; Rodrigues, S; Lencastre, H; Aires-de-Sousa, MMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) nasal carriage is a major risk factor for infection, namely among populations in the community with inherent prompting factors, such as the homeless. In Portugal, there are no data on S. aureus/MRSA nasal carriage among the homeless community. A total of 84 homeless individuals living in Lisbon (34 with no permanent address and 50 living in shelter) were nasall...

Between July 2005 and December 2007, a total of 54 methicillin susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) isolates were recovered from 16 infected infants, parents, health care workers (HCWs), and the environment in...

Conceição, T; Aires-de-Sousa, M; Pona, N; Brito, MJ; Barradas, C; Coelho, R; Sardinha, T; Sancho, L; Sousa, JG; Machado, MC; Lencastre, HIn order to evaluate the incidence of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) in Portugal, we analyzed a collection of 38 S. aureus isolates recovered from 30 children attending the pediatric emergency department of a central hospital in Lisbon due to skin and soft tissue infections. Molecular characterization identified seven clonal lineages among the 35 methicillin-susceptib...
