Eradication of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus From a Health Center Ward and Associated Nursing Home

Abstract

It is possible to eradicate MRSA from a long-term health care facility even after 13 cases by applying strict control measures. Our experience may be valuable in the future decision-making process for control of new and more challenging multiresistant bacteria, eg, vancomycin-resistant strains of MRSA.
