Description:Recommendations for the Prevention and Control of Staphylococcus aureus in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Patients provides new, evidence-based recommendations specific to the prevention and control of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA), in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) patients. This document is one section of the full Guideline for Infection Prevention and Control in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Patients. This guideline will be published in a segmental manner as sections are completed. This section does not provide a comprehensive set of infection control recommendations for the prevention of S. aureus in NICU patients, but instead supplements other CDC guidelines. The term “S. aureus” includes both MSSA and MRSA. Core infection prevention and control recommendations for the prevention of S. aureus that apply across all healthcare settings are summarized in the Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC) Core Practices document,1 and the original recommendations can be found in the respective Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and HICPAC Guidelines.
