Abstract
The utility of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) nasal surveillance swabs has not been well-described in children. This retrospective, cohort study yielded a negative predictive value of 99.4% for an initial negative MRSA nasal surveillance swab in 165 hospitalized children with a suspected infection and clinical cultures obtained from a likely site of infection.
