Nasal Colonizing Vancomycin‐Resistant and Intermediate <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Among Admitted Patients: A Hospital Based Cross‐Sectional Study
This study revealed a significant proportion of VRSA and VISA among <i>S. aureus</i> isolates from hospitalized patients in the region. More than 80% of VRSA isolates were susceptible to tigecycline. A history of hospitalization in the intensive care unit and ownership of domestic animals were associated with an increased likelihood of VRSA colonization.
