Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The prevalence of V-MRSA in areas with high density of pig farming compared to the prevalence of MRSA in the general population of The Netherlands. This is primarily determined by the amount of individuals colonized with V-MRSA. An individual colonized with V-MRSA is defined as case. However, subjects colonized with HA-MRSA will be excluded. Prevalence of V-MRSA is calculated by dividing the total number of cases by the total number of participants.	—
