An outbreak of non-typeable MRSA within a residential care facility.

Abstract:

:In a household setting within a residential care facility for visually and intellectually disabled people, a resident (index case) was diagnosed with dermal abscesses caused by a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) which was non-typeable by standard pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. All residents and staff in contact with the index case (a total of 200 people) were screened for MRSA.
