To reduce the number of patients with known methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization who are repeatedly placed in isolation on hospital readmission, we screened patients who had no positive results for MRSA culture in the previous 6 months. Twenty-one (21%) of 98 patients were no longer colonized and were removed from contact precautions.
为了减少已知耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌 (MRSA) 定植的患者在再次住院时被反复隔离的数量，我们对过去 6 个月内 MRSA 培养结果均为阴性的患者进行了筛查。98 例患者中有 21 例（21%）不再定植，接触预防措施被解除。
