An Outbreak of Methicillin-Resistant<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Abstract

A possible route of MRSA transmission was elucidated by molecular typing. MRSA appears to have been transferred from our adult facility to our pediatric facility by a rotating HCW. Spa typing allowed comparison of our institution's MRSA strains with previously characterized outbreak clones.
