Previous studies have shown a prevalence rate of anywhere from 5%-40% in this patient population. Recently, a study by Reynolds and colleagues, published in Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, looked at not just residents of 1 nursing home, but in all of the nursing homes in Orange County, California. This included 10 different nursing homes. Between October 2008 and November 2009, they sampled the nares of over 500 admissions and 1000 patients in a point-prevalence survey.
