摘要
Although patients colonized or infected with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus have been placed on contact isolation for many years, more recent guidelines recommend enhanced control measures, such as routine active surveillance. We report here the results of a survey of 70 hospitals in North Carolina with regard to current management issues surrounding methicillin-resistant S. aureus.
