Background: There are conflicting data in the literature about the need for contact isolation for active methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections.
Methods: In this retrospective review, we compared the MRSA bloodstream standardized infection ratio for 1 year while contact precautions were in place for MRSA infections and for 1 year after routine contact precautions for MRSA were no longer in place.
Results: There was no change in the MRSA bloodstream standardized infection ratio between the two time periods.
