We describe two outbreaks among newborns, one caused by community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and the other by hospital-associated MRSA. The umbilicus, rectum, and nares were tested for colonization. We found that no single body site had optimal sensitivity when tested alone. The combination of umbilical and nasal swabs achieved a sensitivity of >90%.
我们描述了两起新生儿感染暴发事件,一起由社区获得性耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)引起,另一起由医院获得性MRSA引起。对脐部、直肠和鼻腔进行了定植检测。我们发现,单独检测时,没有一个身体部位具有最佳的敏感性。脐部和鼻腔拭子联合检测的敏感性超过90%。
