Outbreak of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a German Tertiary-Care Hospital
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2015
Abstract
A biphasic outbreak of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in intensive-care units of a German tertiary-care hospital afflicted 89 patients within 4 years. The spread of the outbreak most likely was facilitated by the contamination of mobile radiograph equipment. The outbreak was controlled by measures of hospital hygiene.
