Epidemiological dynamics and rising trends of MRSA in Saudi Arabia: a 12-year observational study
This study demonstrates a rising burden of MRSA over the past decade, especially among vulnerable populations. The findings underscore the need for strengthened infection control, targeted antimicrobial stewardship, and ongoing surveillance to combat MRSA in Saudi Arabia and similar high-risk settings.
