摘要: AbstractBackground: The incidence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been low in the Scandinavian countries, including Finland. Methods: We report a population-based, prospective survey an exceptionally large ongoing MRSA epidemic Finnish health district (HD), Pirkanmaa HD, during 2001–2011 caused by 1 strain, spa t067 (FIN-16). Results: first FIN-16 case HD was identified 2000. Ten years later, 2447 carriers had found 95 different institutions. mostly care-associated (98%). emerged long-term care facilities and gradually spread to acute hospitals. majority were elderly people (median age 78 y). Fifty-two percent new infection with at time detection. Conclusions: is substantially higher than for all Temporary projects control have not proved sufficient contain this epidemic.
