Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in German hospitals: individual- and regional-level predictors

Conclusion The identified predictors related to MRSA will perhaps have an effect on the German health system in the future. Due to demographic changes, an increasing average age in the population may lead to a higher number of MRSA cases. Consequently, the financial burden on the insurance system will rise. Hence, MRSA prevention strategies and legal regulations should be taken more seriously in the next years.
