在过去的十年中，全国各地的教养设施中发生了社区相关耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（CA-MRSA）感染的大规模暴发。尽管许多人已经采取了积极的干预措施，但对标准感染控制程序的反应各不相同，这突显了我们对这种情况下葡萄球菌传播的不完全了解。环境污染最近成为新的预防和控制策略的可能目标。本研究旨在描述环境污染与易受感染人群临床感染之间的关系。我们在纽约州（NYS）两所最高安全级别监狱Sing Sing（男子）和Bedford Hills（女子）进行了金黄色葡萄球菌环境污染的病例对照研究。
Over the past decade, large outbreaks of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) infections have occurred in correctional facilities across the country. Although many have been managed with aggressive interventions, response to standard infection control procedures has been variable, highlighting our incomplete understanding of staphylococcal transmission in this setting. Environmental contamination has recently emerged as a possible target for novel prevention and control strategies. This study sought to characterize the relationship between environmental contamination and clinical infection in this vulnerable population.We conducted a case-control study of S. aureus environmental contamination at 2 New York State (NYS) maximum security prisons: Sing Sing (men) and Bedford Hills (women).
