Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus (MRSA) is a public and occupational health concern, both in community and healthcare settings. In recent years, community‐acquired MRSA (CA‐MRSA) has emerged as a major causative agent of infections in individuals with no health care exposure or any of the classical risk factors associated with infections. Environmental surfaces frequently touched by hands play a role in the transmission of CA‐MRSA, where inanimate objects are considered potential reservoirs and the source of MRSA infections. The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of MRSA on environmental surfaces inside a university campus.
