MRSA prevalence in nursing homes in Saarland, Germany.

<p>Shown is the MRSA prevalence (MRSA cases in percent) of the various LTCF sorted by result. The dots represent the expected rate of MRSA prevalence based to the LTCF pre-study information; the dashed line shows the mean MRSA rate throughout the entire study population.</p
