The transmission rate of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to gloves or gowns of healthcare personnel (HCP) caring for MRSA patients in a non-intensive care unit setting was 5.4%. Contamination rates were higher among HCP performing direct patient care and when patients had detectable MRSA on their body. These findings may inform risk-based contact precautions.
耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)在非重症监护病房环境中传播到医护人员(HCP)手套或长袍的比率为 5.4%。在直接护理患者的 HCP 中,以及当患者身体上检测到可检测到的 MRSA 时,污染率更高。这些发现可能为基于风险的接触预防措施提供信息。
