Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus survival on hospital fomites.

Robert Huang1, Sanjay Mehta, Diane Weed, Connie Savor Price.   

Abstract

We examined the duration of survival of 2 strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) on 3 types of hospital fomites. MRSA survived for 11 days on a plastic patient chart, more than 12 days on a laminated tabletop, and 9 days on a cloth curtain. Irregular surfaces may help harbor organisms in the environment. In addition to contact precautions, MRSA containment during an outbreak should include concurrent environmental decontamination.
