Abstract

Although patients colonized or infected with methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureushave been placed on contact isolation for many years, more recent guidelines recommend enhanced control measures, such as routine active surveillance. We report here the results of a survey of 70 hospitals in North Carolina with regard to current management issues surrounding methicillin-resistantS. aureus.
