Abstract
Recurrent methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus colonization following successful decolonization in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) has been observed. Of 17 recolonization events, 53% were due to concordant strains; 19 different spa types were identified. Results of this study support sources of re-acquisition both intrinsic and extrinsic to the NICU.
