Kettering General Hospital celebrates being MRSA free for four years Kettering General Hospital is celebrating being free of MRSA bloodstream infections for four years.
The hospital is reporting that not one patient has contracted the most serious kind of MRSA infection which affects the bloodstream – known as bacteraemia - while being treated at the hospital since May 2015.
It says this is a significant achievement because hospitals are higher risk environments for blood stream MRSA infections because of the large amount of surgery undertaken and the use of devices like catheters and intravenous drips. Northamptonshire Telegraph
