To evaluate methicillin-resistance (MR) rates among community-associated (CA) Staphylococcus aureus infections in the Korean military, we screened electronic medical records of 223 patients with S. aureus infection in a military referral hospital from 2012 to 2017. During the study period, MR rates did not change annually, and were not different between officers and conscripted personnel. Among conscripted personnel, MR rates in CA S. aureus infections did not increase with longer duration of
