| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated a nosocomical infection in an intensive care unit by PCR based openreading typing (POT) which is a novel numerator loimology test. Among 1015 inpatients, the number of MRSA positives was 57. It was determined to be 11 strains of MRSA nosocomical infection by POT. We detected MRSA from six people among 66 health care workers, and the strains which is in agreement with the genotypic of a patient's MRSA was detected from four persons of them. The accuracy of the POT method was checked by the pulsed-field gel electrophoresis （PFGE）. The multicenter study is planned as a future task.
