Prevalence and determinants of nasal carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus among internally displaced persons in Mogadishu, Somalia: A community based cross-sectional study
The burden of MRSA carriage is exceptionally high among displaced populations in Mogadishu. The findings suggest that recent displacement and living conditions associated with newer arrivals are critical drivers of transmission. Public health interventions should target recent arrivals with improved shelter and hygiene promotion to mitigate the spread of resistant pathogens.
