Background: We conducted a longitudinal survey for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriage in nursing homes and long-term care facilities (LTCFs) in northern Taiwan. Methods: From July 2016 to February 2017, healthcare workers and residents in four institutions were enrolled.

Results: We enrolled a total of 194 participants, including 127 residents and 67 healthcare workers. MRSA colonization rates were 23.2%, 22.8%, 20.7% and 18.6% at enrolment, the 2-, 4-, and 6-month follow-up survey, respectively, and the cumulative colonization rate was 40.2%.
