    Abstract:
    An outbreak of staphylococcal skin infection in neonates was investigated clinically, bacteriologically and epidemiologically with the following findings: (1) In 8 out of 13 cases, exfoliatin-producing staphylococci were present in the bullae, which is unusual with bullous lesions occurring at other ages; (2) exfoliatin producing staphylococci were present in all children with bullous lesions, as well as in carriers; (3) 39% of the phage II group staphylococci studied produced exfoliatin; (4) purulent lesions due to phage II staphylococci which did not produce exfoliatin were observed. The contaminating agent could be identified in most cases.
