Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: This report describes an outbreak of gentamicin-resistant, meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (GR MSSA) which occurred on a 21-bed neonatal unit (NNU) in Ninewells Hospital, Dundee, UK. METHODS: An outbreak investigation was triggered by two new GR MSSA isolates from babies admitted directly to the NNU who had acquired this organism during their stay. Data on MSSA cases and antibiograms of...
