Longitudinal study of horses for carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus following wound infections

Sammanfattning

The most sensitive sampling site was the nostrils, with a sensitivity of 0.91 (95% CI: 0.59-1.00). The other test sites had a sensitivity of 0-0.09. Individual cases tested positive, but with time all tested negative. The observed carriage time ranged from 55 to 711 days (median = 143, IQR: 111-172 days), but these data should be interpreted with caution since only a small number of cases were studied.
