Staphylococci species are known to cause healthcare-associated infections in neonatal intensive care (NICU) unit patients. Little is known about Staphylococcal contamination of NICU environments. Swabs from 25 of 46 (54%) surfaces sampled in a NICU had viable Staphylococcal contamination, with 11% contaminated by methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus [MRSA]. Floors by sinks and return air ducts in the NICU were the most contaminated (67% positive), possibly serving as reservoirs for Staphylococci. |
