Prospective genomic surveillance reveals cryptic MRSA outbreaks with local to international origins among NICU patients

2021-07-18

Abstract excerpt

MRSA infections cause significant morbidity and mortality in neonates. Clinical testing and routine surveillance screening identified an increase in neonates with MRSA colonization and infection which triggered prospective genomic surveillance. Here we show the complex transmission dynamics of MRSA in a NICU setting. Analyses revealed concurrent transmission chains affecting 16 of 22 MRSA-colonized patients (68%),...
