Isolation of penicillin-resistant staphylococci was significantly associated with the previous number of packages of penicillin (OR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.04–1.35) but not with other antibiotics packages. No association was observed between the number of boxes among individuals harbouring S. aureus resistant to oxacillin, clindamycin or azithromycin. However, we did observe a statistically significant association between harbouring MRSA and the previous prescription of any antibiotics (OR, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.16–2.20) (Table 2).","tracks":[]}
