Multivariate model to identify risk factors (odd’s ratios, OR) for methicillin resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>.

<p>MRSA: methicillin resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>; CI: confidence interval; LTCF: long term care facility; AB: antimicrobial (antibiotic); DDD: defined daily dose.</p

Isolate distribution of the initially retrieved microbiological records from 17 Belgian laboratories (2005).

<p>SA: <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> strains samples, including only isolates for which oxacillin susceptibility test result was available; CSF: cerebrospinal fluid; URT: upper respiratory tract; LRT: lower respiratory tract: GIT: gastro-intestinal tract; SSTI: skin & soft tissue infections.</p
