Evaluation of Methicillin-Resistance Rates among Community-associated Staphylococcus aureus Infections in Korean Military Personnel

To evaluate methicillin-resistance (MR) rates among community-associated (CA) Staphylococcus aureus infections in the Korean military, we screened electronic medical records of 223 patients with S. aureus infection in a military referral hospital from 2012 to 2017. During the study period, MR rates...

description To evaluate methicillin-resistance (MR) rates among community-associated (CA) Staphylococcus aureus infections in the Korean military, we screened electronic medical records of 223 patients with S. aureus infection in a military referral hospital from 2012 to 2017. During the study period, MR rates did not change annually, and were not different between officers and conscripted personnel. Among conscripted personnel, MR rates in CA S. aureus infections did not increase with longer duration of military service, both in trend analysis and multivariate analysis. In conclusion, MR rates among CA S. aureus infections did not increase during military service in Korea.
