The colonization of a surgical intensive care unit with Staphylococcus aureus was studied over a period of 16 withdrawal days. During this survey samples were taken from medical and nursing staff, patients and their inaminate environment. To make statements about the potential sources and routes of transmission of Staph. aureus we investigated the resistance situation (18 tested chemotherapeutical agents) and phage lysis patterns of about 100 isolates. By means of different examples could be demonstrated that identical resistance patterns may lead to false epidemiological conclusions. Only the use of phage pattern analysis seems to enable well-founded hints.
在16天的撤离期间，对一个外科重症监护病房的金黄色葡萄球菌定植情况进行了研究。在这项调查中，从医护人员、患者及其无生命环境中采集了样本。为了说明金黄色葡萄球菌的潜在来源和传播途径，我们调查了约100株分离株的耐药情况（18种受试化疗药物）和噬菌体裂解模式。通过不同的例子可以证明，相同的耐药模式可能会导致错误的流行病学结论。只有使用噬菌体模式分析似乎才能得出有充分依据的线索。
