Abstract
We assessed the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization in humans from both hospital and community settings in Gabon. The rate of MRSA was 18 % with no significant difference between healthcare and community members. We observed a remarkedly high prevalence of PVL (42 %) and MDR (83 %) among MRSA isolates.
