Role of Healthcare Workers in Outbreaks of Methicillin-Resistant<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>: A 10-Year Evaluation From a Dutch University Hospital

Abstract

Postexposure screening of HCWs allowed early detection of MRSA carriage and prevention of subsequent transmission to patients. Where the MRSA prevalence is higher, the role of HCWs may be greater. In such settings, an adapted version of our program could help prevent dissemination.
