2012, Veterinary JournalCitation Excerpt :As described in humans (Bradley, 2007; CLSI, 2010), there was not always a correlation between the isolation of MRSA from the skin and the nasal chambers and isolation rates from the skin varied with anatomical location. Thus, MRSA screening protocols in equine hospitals would benefit from sampling at least one targeted skin site in addition to the nasal chambers, similar to the procedures followed in humans (Combined Working Party of the BSAC, 1998; Wanten et al., 1998; Lautenbach et al., 2009; Bitterman et al., 2010). Since the current study only sampled animals hospitalised long-term (>6 months), further work will be required to confirm the validity of the selected ‘high-contact’ locations for the screening of various patient populations.
