This research had two primary objectives. First, to determine the natural history of nasal colonization with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among military personnel in a developing country; and second, to develop an epidemiological surveillance process for skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) in the Peruvian Air Force through the implementation of reporting of individual events within the current electronic disease surveillance system.
