Link: Hospitals Record 113 Days Without Mrsa Case Comes To An End (from Stourbridge News).

HOSPITALS in Worcestershire have had a case of MRSA - finally ending their record 113 days without one. The county's acute hospitals had a case this month, ending the longest stint without the superbug. The previous case was on December 23 last year. Before this Worcester Acute Hospitals NHS Trust went a further 47 days without a hospital-acquired MRSA infection - one that is diagnosed more than 48 hours after a patient's admission. Infections diagnosed before this are not classed by the trust as "hospital-acquired" as the patient may have had it before admission.
