Cross-infection between animals and man: possible feline transmission of Staphylococcus aureus infection in humans?

G M Scott1, R Thomson, J Malone-Lee, G L Ridgway.   

Abstract

An outbreak of epidemic methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus occurred on a rehabilitation geriatric ward. Intensive screening of patients and staff revealed an unusually high carriage rate in the nursing staff (38%), thought to be related to a ward cat which was heavily colonized from the environment. Infection control measures and removal of the cat led to rapid resolution of the outbreak.
