Transmission of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in the neonatal intensive care unit from a patient with community-acquired disease

Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has traditionally been a nosocomial pathogen. However, several recent studies have noted community-acquired MRSA among young, healthy patients with no risk factors or healthcare system exposure. We report the transmission of a strain of community-acquired MRSA in our neonatal intensive care unit.
