Outbreak of hospital infection with a strain of Staphylococcus aureus resistant to gentamicin and methicillin.

D C Shanson, J C Kensit, R Duke.   

Abstract

A previously unreported strain of Staphylococcus aureus, resistant to both gentamicin and methicillin, as well as other antibiotics, caused an outbreak of hospital infection involving 17 patinets and 8 staff. In this outbreak none of the patients had received previous aminoglycoside therapy. The epidemic strain was eliminated by the use of strict measures for the control of infection.
