Abstract
Patterns of detection of S. aureus are being evaluated in a longitudinal study of a cohort of 67 swine veterinarians in the USA. This report presents interim data from the initial period of the study. Overall, approximately 70% of sampling events yielded S. aureus in nasal swabs from veterinarians, and 8% yielded MRSA isolates.
