Living With Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus A 7-Year Experience With Endemic MRSA in a University Hospital
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2015
Abstract
A review of our infection control records revealed 3,159 new isolations of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from 1988 to 1994. Prior to this period, our approach to MRSA had changed from eradication to containment measures. We found a decline in MRSA rates from 11.4 to 5.2 first isolations per 1,000 deaths and discharges over the study period.
