Flow chart of participant selection. Patients transferred into the St Louis Children’s Hospital neonatal intensive care unit (SLCH NICU) from an outside hospital more than 48 hours after birth and colonized with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus upon admission to the SLCH NICU were not included in the full chart review, but the microbiology data for their isolates were included in the analysis.

(a) Overview of surveillance cultures of patients colonized with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains exhibiting mupirocin resistance (possessing the mupA gene). (b) Overview of surveillance cultures of patients colonized with MRSA strains exhibiting chlorhexidine resistance (possessing the qacA/B genes). Of the eight chlorhexidine-resistant isolates, three distinct strain types were identified, designated as A, B and C in the figure. Patient IDs NICU 21 and NICU 22 are twins.
