Abstract

We examined the added value of perineal swabs in addition to nose and throat swabs when screening for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus colonization, and risk factors for perineal carriage in 6,642 patients. In our mainly primary care setting, the added value was 9.3%. Patients <3 or ≥80 had the highest risk.
