摘要
We investigated a cluster of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus soft-tissue infections in 5 security guards employed in a hospital emergency department. An epidemiologic investigation and molecular subtyping of isolates revealed that the source was a patient and that a community-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus strain (USA-300) was transmitted to healthcare workers through physical contact.
