Patients without complete data were not analyzed statistically.

*

Univariate analysis of PVL-positive MSSA was not significant (P > 0.2).

Univariate analysis of MRSA carriage was not significant (P > 0.2).

MRSA = methicillin-resistant S. aureus; PVL = Panton-Valentine leukocidin; MSSA = methicillin-sensitive S. aureus; LR = logistic regression; OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; ICU = intensive care unit.
