Congregate settings, such as jails, may be a location where colonized detainees transmit MRSA. We examined MRSA acquisition during incarceration and characterized the genomic epidemiology of MRSA entering the jail and isolated during incarceration. Males incarcerated at the Cook County Jail were enrolled within 72 hours of intake and MRSA surveillance cultures collected. Detainees in jail at Day30 were re-cultured to determine MRSA acquisition. A survey was administered to identify acquisition predictors. Genomic sequencing of s
