Brief description MRSA is a major cause of hospital-acquired infection. Molecular typing identifies how a patient managed to contract MRSA in the hospital, and if the strain they have is particularly dangerous. This study will develop a rapid typing protocol then implement it routinely, to determine whether providing this information to infection control staff in a more timely fashion will lead to reduced MRSA infections in hospitals.
