Note. S. aureus strains marked with the same number were retrieved from the anterior nares (N) and the throat (T) of one resident (R) or staff member (S) and had 100% genetic homology according to the MLVF analysis. Tetracycline (TET), tobramycin (TOB), gentamicin (GEN), cefoxitin (FOX), ciprofloxacin (CIP), levofloxacin (LEV), daptomycin (DAP), erythromycin (E), clindamycin (CC).
