S. aureus infections are found worldwide. The highest incidence is found in situations
where many people (crowding) and personal hygiene particularly is suboptimal .

MRSA prevails
in countries with a relatively high antibiotic use and where a less intensive 'search
destroy MRSA and policy
"is conducted. In America and Japan are more than 50% of the
clinical S. aureus isolates methicillin.

The percentage MRSAonder invasive S.
aureus isolates in Europe varies from less than 1% in Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands, to
over 50% in Spain, France, England and Italy.


Countries with a high prevalence of MRSA in
hospitals , the prevalence o MRSA in the general population is on the rise (1 to 3%).
