Except for the known high resistance against penicillin, the highest recorded resistance rate was found for azithromycin, and a total of 10 MRSA strains were isolated (1.3%). Despite not observing statistically significant differences, a trend towards a relationship between the dispensation of antibiotics in the previous 4 years and the isolation of resistant microorganisms in otherwise healthy carriers was observed in this study. However, a significant association was found between previous number of packages of penicillin dispensed and penicillin-resistant strains of S. aureus.","tracks":[]}
