  • Title: Association of Staphylococcus aureus colonization in parturient mothers and their babies.
    Author: Huang YC, Chao AS, Chang SD, Chen YJ, Peng MT, Sung JH, Chen CJ.
    Journal: Pediatr Infect Dis J; 2009 Aug; 28(8):742-4. PubMed ID: 19633520.
    Abstract:
    We recruited a total of 499 mothers and their 501 newborn babies to investigate whether infants acquire Staphylococcus aureus from their mothers. Of the 22 mother-baby paired S. aureus isolates, 11 (50%) paired isolates were unrelated, 1 pair related, and 10 pairs (45%) indistinguishable. Newborn babies acquire S. aureus colonization soon after birth either from the environment or their mothers.
