Spread of methicillin‐resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus </i>USA300 in a neonatal intensive care unit

Abstract

It is likely that the CA-MRSA USA300 strain can be transmitted between NICU patients to health-care workers and their family members. The CA-MRSA cases reported here reinforce the virulence of CA-MRSA USA300 strains and emphasize the need to embrace infection control practices designed to protect hospitalized patients, health-care workers and their family members.
