17 May 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The role of meticillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) colonization of healthcare workers (HCWs), patients and the hospital environment in MSSA transmission events (TEs) is poorly understood. AIMS: The role of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was investigated recently under non-outbreak conditions in a large hospital with a history of endemic MRSA over 2 years using...
