Nosocomial infection and community-acquired infection with Staphylococcus aureus, especially methicillin- resistant S. aureus (MRSA), has become a strong concern in human body sites and related effects. The aim of this study is investigate the isolation rate of MRSA from nasal cavity inferior regions and cellular phones to assess the risk factor of nosocomial infection and community-acquired infection. 34.7% and 37.2% isolates were MRSA from the nasal cavity inferior regions and cellular phones according to a Mannitol salt agar (added oxacillin 6㎍/mL) culture and PCR according to S. aureus specific 16S rRNA and mecA primers. Thus, the distribution of S. aureus and the isolation rate of MRSA represent a very high risk factor regards nosocomial infection and community-acquired infection.
