Staff carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (EMRSA 15) and the home environment: a case report.

K D Allen1, J J Anson, L A Parsons, N G Frost.   

Abstract

A case of refractory carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by a nurse is described. The nurse's home environment was widely contaminated with MRSA and two family members acquired the organism. Relapse of carriage after routine anti-staphylococcal measures and three negative sets of screening specimens resulted in a hospital outbreak involving three patients. The problem was finally terminated after a co-ordinated commercial cleaning of the house, thermal disinfection of all linen and replacement of some soft furnishings.
