Abstract
Nosocomial transmission is considered to be the most important source for MRSA colonisation of health care workers (HCW). However, the epidemiology is changing and community-acquired MRSA is increasing. The objective of this study was to investigate the determinants of MRSA carriage/infections in HCW in The Netherlands.
