Polymerase chain reaction-based open reading frame typing (POT) method analysis for a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) outbreak through breast-feeding in the neonatal intensive care unit

Introduction: The route of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) transmission in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is not clearly explained. We investigate an MRSA outbreak involving five babies in the NICU. The molecular investigation using polymerase chain reaction-based open re...
