received much attention over the past 30 years because of its increasing incidence and the morbidity and excess hospital stay length associated with MRSA infection. Th e current controversy about the eff ectiveness of control measures, notably screening, derives from the confl icting results of available studies, lack of well-designed controlled studies, and concomitant use of several intervent...
