The Netherlands is one of the few countries where methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) still is uncommon. In 1988, the Werkgroep Infectie Preventie (Working Party on Infection Prevention) issued guidelines on the control of MRSA that could be applied nationwide. The mainstay of the guideline is that all patients who carry MRSA are strictly isolated in single rooms. In 1989, a surveillance study was started by the National Institute of Public Health and the Environment. This study showed that approximately 200 new cases of MRSA colonization or infection occur each year. Small outbreaks of MRSA occur occasionally in The Netherlands, but the surveillance data confirm the success of the Dutch policy.
荷兰是耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（MRSA）仍不常见的少数国家之一。1988年，感染预防工作组发布了可在全国应用的MRSA控制指南。该指南的主要内容是，所有携带MRSA的患者都要严格隔离在单人病房。1989年，国家公共卫生和环境研究所启动了一项监测研究。该研究表明，每年约有200例新的MRSA定植或感染病例。荷兰偶尔会发生MRSA小范围暴发，但监测数据证实了荷兰政策的成功。
