Sustained meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus control in a hyper-endemic tertiary acute care hospital with infrastructure challenges in Singapore

BACKGROUND: Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been entrenched in Singapore hospitals since the 1980s, with an excess of 600 non-duplicate cases of infections (120 bacteraemia episodes) each year in our 995-bed university hospital. Approximately 5% of our hospital beds are used as...
