摘要：

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is increasingly being recognized as a cause of community-acquired infection. Its transmission in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) has reportedly been linked to a few cases of community-acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA) infection. Here, I describe a case of CA-MRSA transmission from a father to his child in a NICU. Recognition that CA-MRSA may be transmitted in a hospital setting raises important issues for MRSA infection control and treatment options.
