Abstract in brief

The study investigates methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) skin infections in young incarcerated people in New South Wales, finding high rates similar to those in US adult prisoners, especially among Indigenous youth, those with recent antibiotic use, and those presenting with skin collections.
Most MRSA infections are from Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive strains, often occurring at admission, highlighting the need for good infection control, surveillance, and careful antibiotic use in juvenile detention centers.
Factors associated with MRSA skin infections include being Indigenous, presenting with a collection, and recent antibiotic use, suggesting targeted efforts are needed to prevent and manage these infections in the youth detention population.]
