The problem with people who are carrying MRSA is that the bacteria can spread at hospitals if not discovered in time.
As in previous years the number of hospital acquired cases continued to be very low:
MRSA guidelines are effective The low incidence of hospital-acquired infections indicates that the Danish regulations function very well
In hospitals Staphylococcus aureus is the most frequent cause of post-surgery infections. In 2012 MRSA was identified in 1556 people.
Only 67 people were infected at hospitals which is at the same level as in 2011 (58 cases).
