Are gym surfaces reservoirs for Staphylococcus aureus? A point prevalence survey.

John Daniel Markley1, Michael B Edmond, Yvette Major, Gonzalo Bearman, Michael P Stevens.   

Abstract

We sought to identify staphylococcal contamination of gymnasium surfaces. Various environmental surfaces were cultured at a university fitness center. Ten out of 99 samples yielded Staphylococcus aureus, all of which were methicillin-susceptible. Gym surfaces may be colonized with staphylococci and could play a role in community transmission of staphylococcal species. Published by Mosby, Inc.
