UNASSIGNED: Antibiotic resistance in @entity328 is an emerging health problem worldwide. The incidence of antimicrobial-resistant @entity2260 is increasing, and nasal colonization of @entity2260 in @entity1 increases the risk of @entity7706 . In this study, the prevalence of @entity2260 nasal colonization was studied in Thai @entity1 from three different districts. @entity2260 nasal colonization was found in 38 of 237 subjects (16.0%). The carriage rate indicated higher rates in two rural districts (18.2% and 29.8%) than in the urban district (2.8%). The antibiotic susceptibility pattern was determined using the disk diffusion method. Prevalence of multi-drug resistance @entity2260 (MDR-SP) was 31.6%. Resistance to commonly prescribed antibiotics was found for @entity869 (5.3%), @entity4580 (26.3%), @entity6944 (2.6%), @entity2755 (18.4%), @entity3402 (18.4%), @entity2929 (21.1%), @entity6101 (44.7%), @entity206 / @entity207 (78.9%) and @entity803 (15.8%). All isolates were sensitive to @entity2756 . The pulsed-field gel electrophoresis pattern was used to compare genetic diversity of the @entity2260 isolates. PFGE demonstrated the variation in genotypes of @entity2260 from different areas. High prevalence of multi-drug resistance @entity2260 nasal colonization in healthy Thai @entity1 was indicated. Effective strategies for appropriate use of antibiotics are therefore needed in the community.
