Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> in U.S. Hospitals, 1975–1991

Abstract

This study suggests that hospitals of all sizes are facing the problem of MRSA, the problem appears to be increasing regardless of hospital size, and control measures advocated for MRSA appear to require re-evaluation. Further study of MRSA in hospitals would benefit our understanding of this costly pathogen.
