- Description
Residents from 13 community-based nursing homes located in Maryland and Michigan participated in this study of MRSA transmission rates to healthcare personnel (HCP) during routine care activities. Upon enrollment, cultures were taken at the anterior nares and perianal skin. Of the 401 participants, 113 were MRSA colonized. A random sample of non-colonized residents were also included in the study....

- Description
As an extension of a MRSA-related study, this research investigated the rate of transmission of resistant Gram-negative bacteria (RGNB) from residents to healthcare personnel (HCP) within community-based nursing homes. 13 facilities in Michigan and Maryland participated in the project. Perianal skin swabs were taken from 399 enrollees, 74 of which were positive for at least 1 RGNB. The gloves and gowns...

- Description
The dataset contains data pertaining to the examination of draft genomes of 388 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates obtained from intensive care unit patients at three geographically distributed hospitals. The purpose of the study was to determine genomic diversity associated with potential health care worker-associated transmission. Relevant statistics, including linked GenBank and...
