Effectiveness of preemptive barrier precautions in controlling nosocomial colonization and infection by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a burn unit.

American journal of infection control - 1 Oct 2006

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: We report the effectiveness of preemptive enhanced barrier precautions in containing a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) outbreak in a university hospital burn unit and further controlling endemic nosocomial MRSA infection in the unit during the succeeding 27 months. METHODS: During a 6-month period, 12 patients in a 7-bed burn unit were found to be colonized (7) or infected (5) by...
