  • Title: Molecular surveillance of Staphylococcus aureus colonization in a neonatal intensive care unit.
    Author: Mongkolrattanothai K, Mankin P, Cranston J, Gray BM.
    Journal: Am J Infect Control; 2010 Oct; 38(8):660-3. PubMed ID: 20413184.
    Abstract:
    In a survey of staphylococcal colonization, Staphylococcus aureus was detected in 7 of 67 infants (10%). Two of the infants (3%) carried methicillin-resistant S aureus (MRSA), revealing an unsuspected transmission of MRSA within the neonatal intensive care unit. Molecular surveillance of S aureus provided useful information to improve infection control practices.
