Abstract

We surveyed administrators at 13 nursing homes in Orange County, CA, on their likelihood to admit methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriers and assessed applicant characteristics associated with rejection. In multivariate models, denial of admission was associated with MRSA carriage (odds ratio, 2.7; P = .02) and receiving lower ratings for overall suitability for admission (odds ratio, 5.9; P < .001). Larger studies are needed to determine whether decolonization may remove barriers to accessing postdischarge care for MRSA carriers.
