Staphylococci in a Mental Hospital

S. S. REZA M.B., B.S., D.T.M.&H., Dip.Bact.1

1 Pathologist, Napsbury Hospital, near St. Albans, Herts.

Nasal carrier state, incidence of staphylococcal skin lesions and fatal respiratory infections, were investigated for a period of six months in a sample of the population of a mental hospital. Description of the hospital where the investigation was undertaken is given. Evidence of a small rise in nasal carriers of penicillin-resistant organisms and a definite rise in nasal carriers of tetracycline-resistant organisms without any increase in the total nasal carriers is presented. It is suggested that there is considerable circulation of the resistant organisms in the population of the ward.
